CUTLER BAY, FLA. (WSVN) – A 25-year-old man is in custody and a Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputy has been released from the hospital after a fleeing car came to a crashing stop on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
MDSO and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the crash along Southwest 115th Avenue and 224th Street in Southwest Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n
According to deputies, they attempted a traffic stop on 25-year-old Tyriq Levar Lee\u2019s vehicle but he fled from detectives. During his attempted escape, Lee blew through a stop sign and crashed into a detective.<\/p>\n
One of the cars overturned after plowing through a fence due to the crash.<\/p>\n
7Skyforce hovered above the scene, capturing the overturned car in someone\u2019s backyard and a damaged fence. A second car was seen with front-end damage and debris scattered across the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
Ring doorbell video shows neighbors reacting in real-time when they see the aftermath of the crash. <\/p>\n
Deputies quickly took Lee into custody and paramedics rushed the deputy to Jackson South Medical Center in stable condition. <\/p>\n
Hours later, the deputy was discharged from the hospital. <\/p>\n
Area resident Mary said her car was involved in the incident. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my hood so I woke up this morning and everybody in my hood called me and told me, \u2018Your car is on its back\u2019 so I came running and it\u2019s on its back for real. Don\u2019t let nobody drive your car. Don\u2019t let nobody drive your car. Period,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Others described what they heard.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoom like a big boom. When I was in the room, I heard a boom and I thought it was something else but when I came outside, I saw the car flipped over and I was like \u2018Oh wow!’\u201d said witness Joshua Chambers. <\/p>\n
Chambers said Lee managed to escape the crash and try his luck in running away on foot. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe someway managed to squeeze out of it and jumped over the gate and ran and all the other officers chased him around,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
But Lee wouldn\u2019t get far. He now faces a list of charges, including fleeing and eluding police, driving with a suspended license and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
An investigation is underway into the incident. It remains unclear why deputies initially stopped Lee. <\/p>\n
Both mangled cars have since been towed away from the scene. <\/p>\n
