It was quite a start to the workweek Monday with two separate police chases in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
One chase came to an end in the area of Northwest 10th Avenue and 49th Street in Fort Lauderdale.
Sky 10 was above the scene just before 11:30 a.m. as a silver car was blocked in by a couple undercover police vehicles.
According to Broward Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Claudinne Caro, someone called 911 just before 10:40 a.m. to report a recovered stolen vehicle near the 2700 block of South Oakland Forrest Drive in Oakland Park.
She said deputies arrived at the scene to find the suspect, identified only as an adult male, leaving the area in the stolen car.
Deputies tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the suspect fled from deputies at a high rate of speed, Caro said.
“BSO’s TITAN (Threat Intervention Tactics Analytics Network) responded to assist,” Caro said in a news release. “According to investigators, the subject proceeded to drive recklessly almost hitting a group of construction workers. A pursuit ensued. Detectives say the subject intentionally hit a deputy’s vehicle while fleeing. The pursuit ended a short time later when the subject crashed his vehicle near Powerline Road and Commercial Boulevard and a VIT (Vehicle Intervention Technique) was conducted.”
Caro said the suspect took off on foot, but was quickly detained.
She confirmed that Oakland Park Fire Rescue personnel transported a BSO deputy to a local hospital with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.
The suspect’s identity has not yet been released.
Another chase involving a gray Dodge Charger ended in the area of 16th Avenue and 60th Street in Miami.
Multiple Miami police and Miami-Dade police vehicles were spotted in the area around 11:40 a.m.
It appears two people were detained at the scene.
No other details about either chase were immediately released by authorities.
