A man has been arrested in a February hit-and-run that left a Miami Police motorcycle officer seriously injured, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Trevor McIntosh, 33, surrendered Tuesday to face a charge of leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
The crash happened the night of Feb. 12 in the area of Interstate 95 and Interstate 195.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Motorman Daniel Cantero was on his marked police motorcycle going westbound on I-195 to exit onto southbound I-95 when he and a Hyundai Sonata sideswiped each other.<\/p>\n
As Cantero approached the driver’s side door of the Sonata, a large Sprinter-type van sideswiped a guardrail and struck Cantero, throwing him about 30 feet, the report said.<\/p>\n
The van, which had “Southern AOG” written on its side, fled the scene, the report said.<\/p>\n
Dashcam video from a passerby who stopped to help Cantero captured the hit-and-run, the report said.<\/p>\n
Cantero was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with multiple injuries including partial tears to his ATL, PTL, MCL and a torn posterior labrum on his left shoulder, as well as an ankle injury that needed surgery.<\/p>\n
Detectives used the dashcam video to get the van’s license plate and discovered it was registered to a business named Southern AOG in Fort Myers, the report said.<\/p>\n
A detective called the business and spoke with McIntosh, Southern AOG’s southeast maintenance manager, asking him if he had records showing who was driving the van in Miami at the time of the crash, the report said.<\/p>\n
McIntosh said the company only had one van and a number of people could have been driving it, but that he would look at his records and call the detective back, the report said.<\/p>\n
The detective later tried to contact McIntosh but he didn’t return the call, the report said.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 14, a Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputy found the van that had damage consistent with the hit-and-run, the report said.<\/p>\n
Cell phone data also showed McIntosh’s phone was near the scene of the crash at the time of the crash, the report said.<\/p>\n
Detectives later contacted McIntosh’s attorney to have him surrender, and he turned himself in Tuesday and was booked into jail, the report said.<\/p>\n
McIntosh appeared before a Miami-Dade judge on Wednesday for a bond hearing where the detective in the case asked for an elevated bond.<\/p>\n
A prosecutor recommended no less than a $25,000 bond but McIntosh’s attorney asked for a standard bond, noting he has no criminal history and isn’t a flight risk.<\/p>\n
The judge set his bond at $20,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested in a February hit-and-run that left a Miami Police motorcycle officer seriously injured,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-214722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
