An early morning car chase along Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade County led to a wild ending caught on camera and four people taken into custody Friday.

Miami-Dade Police officials said the incident happened around 4 a.m. when officers were attempting to stop a silver Toyota sedan believed to be involved in a burglary in the northbound lanes of the Turnpike near Northwest 12th Street.

The driver refused to stop and attempted to flee, and Florida Highway Patrol troopers got involved and performed a PIT maneuver near Northwest 74th Street shortly afterward, according to the agency.

FHP officials released dashcam footage of a trooper performing the PIT maneuver on the car.

All four men inside the vehicle were taken into custody, but FHP and Miami-Dade Police have not released their identities or said what charges they may face.

No injuries were reported, and the roadway reopened to drivers shortly after.
