A stolen burgundy Chevrolet Groove struck a line of tall and dense privacy hedges, as two suspects tried to get away from police officers and failed on Sunday morning in Miami-Dade County.
Attorney Hector Villamar lives where Meridian Avenue is closed between Barry Street and West 39 Street, steps away from the St. Patrick Catholic Church and a private school in Miami Beach.
"We have lived here a long time, and once in a while somebody will come speeding down not recognizing this is a dead end and smash into the dead end," Villamar said.
According to Officer Michael Vega, a spokesman for the Miami Police Department, the owner of the compact sports utility vehicle reported the armed carjacking was at 2:55 a.m., on Sunday, in Miami's Model City.
"Units made contact with the victim whose vehicle was taken at gunpoint," Vega wrote in a statement. "A unit saw the vehicle and began a pursuit."
