MIAMI (WSVN) - Police are searching for three teens who, they said, struck a car in Miami with a mother and a baby on board, then took off running.
According to City of Miami Police, the hit-and-run took place near Northwest 41st Street and 10th Avenue, just before 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Cellphone video captured the crash and the minivan involved with significant damage, with one woman saying in Spanish she saw the people inside the minivan, who were younger, run away from the crash.
Area resident Lili Uralde said the crash happened right outside her home.
“It was really shocking to see that happened just in front of the house,” she said.
Uralde said she was taking her daughter to school when the crash took place.
“We heard the accident, and as soon as I came out, I saw the car right here, where you are standing right now, with three kids — about 15, 16 maybe — and they just run away in front of me,” she said. “I told them to stop. We tell them that we were calling the police, but they keep running.”
Uralde said the teens abandoned the damaged vehicle in the middle of the street.
“I don’t know how you can be cold with a situation like that,” she said.
When she got closer to the white car where the victims were riding, Uralde said, she noticed a baby crying inside.
“They left a mom with a baby inside, maybe just 1, 2 months old, in the middle of the street,” she said.
From there, Uralde said, she called 911. Police and paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after.
“They came very fast,” said Uralde. “Thank God we called the rescue and the police, and they came very fast, and they helped [the woman and the baby] out. I hope they’re feeling better.”
Paramedics were seen carrying the baby out of the damaged vehicle. They transported the infant to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
“Just as a precaution to be checked out. There were no serious injuries,” said Miami Police Officer Michael Vega.
Back at the scene, 7News cameras captured car parts scattered on the ground, as well as tire tracks on the street.
While the baby and mother are expected to be OK, authorities said they’re still looking for the three juveniles who left the victims behind.
“We got a tip that they were inside a house. We went into the house and tried to find them, but they were not inside the house, so they’re still at large, and we’re still trying to locate them,” said Vega.
