NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman has been taken into custody after a police chase came to a crashing end along Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade.
Hollywood Police began pursuing a black sedan they have confirmed matches the description of one connected to a string of robberies in the Hollywood area, Wednesday, at around 3:30 p.m.
The chase started off of Sheridan Street in Hollywood, and the driver of the black sedan led officers south on I-95 where one of them used the pit maneuver to stop the vehicle just before Northwest 155th Street.

The child was seen with another woman who would not confirm if she was the mother of the child.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was called to the scene to treat an officer for a minor elbow injury.
