Miami-Dade police are investigating after one of their officers crashed a patrol car into the front of a home in Cutler Bay Wednesday night.
The crash occurred around 9 p.m. in the 9600 block of Cutler Ridge Drive.
A Local 10 News crew was at the scene Thursday morning. Based on the damage, it appears that the car struck the home’s car port and lanai, but never actually made it through the home.
According to Detective Angel Rodriguez, who is also a spokesman for the police department, the officer was on-duty at the time and was responding to an emergency call.
He said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported the officer to Jackson South Medical Center in stable condition.
No one inside the home was injured.
Rodriguez said the MDPD Traffic Homicide Unit will investigate the crash, as is standard protocol with any crash involving one of its officers.
According to a neighbor, another police vehicle crashed into a home across the street about a year ago.
