NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A vehicle that was reported stolen in a carjacking incident on Sunday was sighted by Miami-Dade Police officers. The driver and passengers of the stolen red BMW attempted to evade law enforcement and crashed at the intersection of Northwest 54th Street and 12th Avenue.

The department confirmed no injuries were reported.
