OPA-LOCKA, FL : 3 hospitalized after hit-and-run rollover wreck in Opa-locka on Sunday, 3rd March 2019

Rescue crews took three people to the hospital after they were involved in a hit-and-run rollover wreck in Opa-locka.

Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the crash near Northwest 22nd Avenue and 135th Street, Sunday morning.

Officials said one of the cars was completely on its back, and another was on its side against a power pole.

Rescuers used the jaws of life to remove two victims who were trapped in the vehicle that had struck the power pole.

“It was kind of a difficult scenario, being that the vehicle was on its side, and the victims were trapped on top of each other,” said MDFR Capt. Christopher Morales. “One of them had an extremity that was kind of pinned by the roof of the vehicle, so initially we had to stabilize the vehicle in order to gain access, just to do patient care.”

Paramedics transported the three victims to an area hospital, where they are listed in stable condition.
