Police say six people, including two infants, were hit by a driver accused of being under the influence Sunday in Miami Beach.
The crash happened about 3:30 p.m. at 18th Street and Meridian Avenue. By Sunday night, authorities said the adult victims were in stable condition, but the infants were listed in critical condition.
Police say a Mercedes-Benz was eventually caught after it crashed into some palm trees along a sidewalk. The car appeared to have also crashed into a metal trashcan and a motor scooter.
Police closed Meridian Avenue between 17th and 18th streets and advised people to use alternate routes.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho decried the crash on Twitter.
"Families should be safe to spend their Sunday walking South Florida's streets without fear of being mowed down by an apparent drunk driver," Carvalho said. "Sending wishes of a speedy recovery to the little ones and adults involved in this."
Matthew Timothy Miller, 29, was arrested following the crash. He is facing multiple counts of reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and a charge of driving with a suspended license in the crash.
According to an arrest affidavit, Miller, from Daytona Beach, was driving his black 2012 Mercedes when he drove onto the sidewalk, hitting five pedestrians, a metal trash can and a parking kiosk before striking a tree and coming to a stop.
An officer who responded said Miller appeared "high."
When asked if he had taken any medications or drugs, Miller allegedly responded "I only took some Percocet," the affidavit said.
