A total of three people, including a pregnant woman and a Miami-Dade Police officer, were hospitalized after their vehicles were involved in a Hialeah crash Monday night.
Miami-Dade Police and Fire Rescue responded to the scene along the 1100 block of East Ninth Street around 8:30 p.m.
Police said the officer was responding to a call and heading eastbound along 62nd Street when he rear-ended one vehicle. That vehicle then struck another.
Paramedics transported all three drivers, including the officer, to an area hospital as a precaution.
Investigators said the accident was not linked to the “Wheels Up, Guns Down” rides that have taken over the streets of South Florida during Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
Since the crash involved a Miami-Dade Police officer, that agency will be investigating the accident.
