NORTH MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A man and a woman were taken into custody following a pursuit that led to a bailout on Interstate 95, causing multiple crashes and major traffic disruptions in North Miami-Dade.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, along with deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, were pursuing a black Nissan Altima that was possibly involved in a shooting in West Park on Southwest 19th Street.
“Broward County followed a black Nissan automobile into Dade County,” said 7Skyforce’s Ralph Rayburn.
The car led deputies on a pursuit along the southbound lanes of I-95 until they bailed out of the vehicle and made a run for it.
A man and a woman exited the vehicle and ran across several lanes of traffic near I-95 and Northwest 151st Street, according to Rayburn.
“The people in the vehicle, an adult male and female, both bailed out of the vehicle and ran across a construction area at 151 Street and I-95,” said Rayburn.
Cellphone video, obtained by 7News, captured the moment the pair ditched the car and ran across several lanes.
The woman was quickly caught and taken into custody while the man ran into a nearby neighborhood in an attempt to evade deputies.
After a quick search by air and ground, deputies found the man at a house off Northwest Seventh Avenue.
Both subjects were taken into custody.
A witness saw police closing in on the male subject.
“I saw the dog going inside and trying to look for him. They caught him inside,” said witness Max Jean.
Deputies said no victims have been found in the initial West Park call.
At least four to five vehicles were involved in crashes during the pursuit, leading troopers to shut down five lanes of I-95, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Both subjects are now likely facing multiple charges.
All impacted lanes on I-95 have since been reopened to traffic.
