(WSVN) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/miami-dade\/pair-of-street-takeovers-leaves-3-hospitalized-1-deputy-injured-in-nw-miami-dade-suspect-at-large\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">After two street takeovers<\/a> occurred in Miami-Dade County on the Fourth of July weekend, Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office officials denounced the act at a press conference in Northwest Miami-Dade on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>Videos across social media shows daredevil stunts, fire rings and fireworks being shot out of cars. <\/p>\n<p>Deputies were called to a street takeover on Northwest 77th Court and 169th Street early Sunday morning. As deputies attempted to make an arrest, someone aimed fireworks in their direction. <\/p>\n<p>One of the deputies suffered burns on his hands as a result of the person\u2019s actions. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time you see one of these on social media, someone is getting hurt. Someone is getting run over. It\u2019s just a very reckless act.\u201d said MDPD Detective Luis Sierra<\/p>\n<p>A few hours later, more trouble at Northwest 26th Street and 76th Avenue when three victims were struck by a vehicle by a hit-and-run driver. <\/p>\n<p>Deputies are now searching for a black pickup truck with front end damage.<\/p>\n<p>According to officials, a man and two women were hurt. One woman in her 20s was left with a traumatic head injury. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately on social media, these street takeovers are somewhat glorified amongst our younger community.\u00a0 I guess they think it\u2019s something cool,\u201d said Sierra. \u201cThese people are not aware that there are serious charges involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Investigators are now asking for the public\u2019s help to find the people responsible.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any information on these incidents, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp. All rights reserved.
