NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are searching for a suspected carjacker in North Miami-Dade.

7Skyforce flew over Interstate 95 and the Golden Glades Interchange, where a perimeter has been set up.

Authorities could be seen searching the area with the aid of a K-9 unit.

According to officials, the suspect allegedly carjacked a vehicle in the area of Northwest 95th Street and 22nd Avenue in Northwest Miami-Dade.

An officer spotted the vehicle shortly after and followed it until the subject lost control and crashed into a ditch. The suspect is said to have taken off running, crossed the lanes on I-95 and is believed to be hiding out in some bushes along the highway.

As a result, the I-95 north ramp to SR-826 and the ramp from 167th St to I-95 south were shutdown during the morning rush hour. The ramps have since been reopened, and all units have cleared the scene without the capture of a suspect.

If you have any information on this carjacking, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
