MIAMI (WSVN) -- A pedestrian is dead and another person is in the hospital after a car collision early Friday morning.
Miami Fire Rescue said a Jeep and a Mitsubishi Eclipse crashed into each other around 5:30 a.m. near Seventh Street and Southwest Third Avenue. "We received a call that there had been a two-car accident and possibly one of the people had died on the scene. Once we got here, we realized that pedestrian had died," said Miami-Dade Police Department Officer, Kenia Alfonso.
According to police, the elderly woman was standing in the street, or attempting to cross, when one of the vehicles struck her. She died on the scene.
The three men inside of the Eclipse bailed out of the vehicle and ran a few blocks away where they were apprehended by police. "As to what prompted these three individuals to flee the scene is unknown at this very time. What we do know is that those people were apprehended and they will be facing charges," said Alfonso.
Rescue crews transported the driver of the Jeep to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
