Officers responding to the scene utilized a jack from their cruiser to lift the vehicle, allowing them to free the woman safely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our officers arrived and, as you can see in the body-worn camera footage, quickly sprang into action,&#8221; said Officer Chris Bess, public information officer for the Miami Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>In the recorded footage, one officer can be heard assuring the victim during the rescue: &#8220;We&#8217;re going to try to lift you out of there, ok.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to try to pull you out, ok. If something hurts too much, you let me know,&#8221; the officer added moments before freeing her.<\/p>\n<p>The woman was transported to a hospital; police reported that she did not sustain life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Jeep was cited for causing the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Following the incident, the department emphasized the importance of road safety for all commuters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the increased amount of micro-mobility users on the streets, we ask motorists to pack your patience, be aware of your surroundings, and we ask micro-mobility users to wear helmets,&#8221; Bess said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Miami Beach Police officers are credited with a rapid rescue after a woman was pinned under an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2336,1171,123,1642,5745,125,124,723],"class_list":["post-383144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-car-crash","tag-e-bikes","tag-miami","tag-miami-beach","tag-miami-beach-police","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-rescue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383144","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=383144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
