Car slams into Miami-Dade home's porch during police investigation

A Miami-Dade homeowner needs to make significant repairs after a car crashed into his front porch while deputies were conducting an investigation early Wednesday morning.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said the entire ordeal began after they received reports of a home burglary and set up a perimeter.

While they were investigating, deputies said they spotted what they called a suspicious vehicle.

Deputies said they tried to stop the vehicle, but it sped off and eventually slammed into the front porch of the home located at Southwest 62nd Terrace and Southwest 58th Avenue.

After the crash, investigators said the unidentified driver of the vehicle tried to run away. However, because deputies were in the area they were able to quickly take him into custody.

He was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries, but is now in custody.

As far as the home burglary – deputies say it never happened. Instead, investigators said they found items in the crashed vehicle that had been stolen from another vehicle nearby.

The homeowner said he was woken up with what sounded like thunder, and now he has to figure out how to clean up the mess.

"I have to contact insurance companies and stuff like that to find out what's the next steps, and to find out how long it's going to take to fix it," he said.

The identified of the person who crashed the vehicle has not been released by officials.
