Miami, FL (August 21, 2025) – Emergency responders from Miami-Dade County rushed to the scene of a multi-vehicle crash on Tuesday afternoon that left several individuals injured and one vehicle fleeing the scene.
The collision took place near the intersection of NE 160th St and NE 6th Ave in Miami around 12:50 PM. Multiple vehicles were involved in the crash, including a Mitsubishi, a Toyota Corolla, and a black Chevrolet Equinox. According to dispatch audio from municipal police, a green Ford was also part of the incident but fled the area before officers arrived.
Emergency medical services provided treatment at the scene for individuals suffering from crash-related injuries. The extent of those injuries has not yet been released, though initial reports indicated more than one person required immediate care. First responders worked quickly to triage the injured and assess those involved.
Law enforcement officers remain actively investigating the circumstances of the collision. With one vehicle fleeing the scene, this incident is now also being handled as a hit-and-run, which may result in additional charges once the suspect is located. The intersection remained partially blocked for a period of time while crews worked to clear debris and document the scene.
Authorities have asked the public to come forward with any information that could help identify the green Ford or its driver. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses may also play a role in tracking the vehicle.
Our thoughts are with those recovering from injuries related to this crash, and we hope all victims are receiving the care they need.
Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida
Collisions involving hit-and-run drivers present a particularly difficult scenario for both victims and emergency responders. In Tuesday’s incident at NE 160th St and NE 6th Ave, the green Ford’s decision to flee left injured parties without immediate accountability, delaying both justice and closure for those affected.
Hit-and-runs are especially common in dense urban areas like Miami, where traffic congestion, limited parking, and high-speed corridors intersect with residential zones. According to state data, Florida consistently ranks among the top states for hit-and-run crashes, with thousands reported each year. In many of these cases, drivers flee out of fear of legal consequences, lack of insurance, or outstanding violations. Unfortunately, such actions place the lives and safety of others at even greater risk.
The involvement of four vehicles, including a Mitsubishi, Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Equinox, and the fleeing Ford, underscores the chain-reaction nature of urban collisions. For those left behind, recovery may involve dealing with pain, property damage, lost wages, and the emotional toll of uncertainty.
Local authorities rely heavily on witness accounts and camera footage to identify fleeing vehicles. Community awareness plays a crucial role in these investigations, and even small details—like a partial plate number or bumper damage—can make the difference in locating a suspect vehicle.
If you or someone you love has been affected by a hit-and-run, seeking medical care and reporting the incident promptly are critical first steps. Victims should also explore their options for compensation, especially in cases where uninsured motorist coverage may be applicable.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime—and so is staying silent if you witnessed it.
