Police said the officer’s cruiser was T-boned early Sunday on Southwest Seventh Street.
MIAMI, FL — A Miami police officer was taken to a hospital early Sunday after another vehicle hit his patrol car in Little Havana, leaving him stable but possibly with multiple fractures, police said.
The crash put a Miami officer in the hospital and left investigators reviewing what happened before the patrol vehicle was struck about 3:20 a.m. at 1200 SW Seventh St. Police had not released the officer’s name, the other driver’s name or any possible traffic citation by Sunday afternoon.
Miami police said the officer was inside a marked patrol vehicle when another vehicle T-boned it in the Little Havana neighborhood. Miami Fire-Rescue took the officer from the crash scene to a hospital. Police described him as “stable,” but said he may have suffered multiple fractures. Officials did not say whether the officer was responding to a call, driving through the area on patrol or stopped in traffic when the collision happened. No other injuries were immediately reported by police in the first public account of the crash.
The collision happened along Southwest Seventh Street, a corridor that runs through a busy part of Little Havana near homes, small businesses and late-night traffic routes west of downtown Miami. Police identified the location as the 1200 block, but did not immediately describe the direction of travel for either vehicle. They also did not say whether traffic lights, stop signs, speed, impairment or road conditions were being reviewed as possible factors. The damage was serious enough for rescue crews to transport the officer for medical care, but the department did not release a full medical update.
The crash came two weeks after another serious Little Havana crash drew a large emergency response in the neighborhood. In that earlier case, police said a crash was reported before dawn near Southwest 10th Avenue and Third Street, where a driver died and several vehicles were left damaged. The cases are separate, and police have not connected them. Together, they show the steady demand on emergency crews in one of Miami’s older, denser neighborhoods, where residential streets meet major routes used by drivers moving between downtown, Flagami, Brickell and the Miami River area.
The investigation into Sunday’s crash remained open, police said. No charges had been filed at the time of the department’s early update. Investigators were expected to review the crash scene, vehicle damage and any available witness statements or camera footage from the area. Police did not announce a scheduled briefing or a timeline for releasing the officer’s name. The department also did not say whether the other driver stayed at the scene, whether that driver was questioned or whether the vehicle was seized as part of the investigation.
The early-morning timing left many basic details unknown through the first hours after the crash. Police released only a brief account: the officer was hit, taken by Miami Fire-Rescue to a hospital and listed as stable. The department did not identify the hospital, and officials did not say whether the officer would need surgery or further treatment. The crash also raised questions about whether the patrol vehicle had emergency lights activated, whether body camera or dash camera video exists, and whether any nearby businesses captured the impact.
By Sunday afternoon, the officer remained unnamed and the crash remained under investigation. Police said the officer was stable, and the next major update was expected to come when investigators release more details about the other driver, the officer’s condition or any possible charges.
