Police have arrested the person they say was behind the wheel of a hit-and-run crash that occurred in Miami Beach last month.
According to a police report, 31-year-old Lisa Smith was arrested for leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury.
The incident happened at around 9 p.m. on May 9th on the 4400 block of Collins Avenue. Police say a Mercedes Benz C300 was caught on city cameras approaching the area at high speeds before striking a pedestrian who was attempting to cross Collins Avenue.
In the video, police say, the Mercedes stops before making a U-turn, fleeing the scene.
The victim had suffered "life-threatening" injuries, according to report, which included a collapsed lung and a fractured skull.
Police say the day after the hit-and-run, Smith's lawyer contacted authorities, claiming Smith was involved with the crash. According to her attorney, the pedestrian crossed the street during a green light.
After inspecting Smith's vehicle and gathering witness testimonies, police say Smith was arrested for leaving the scene without attempting to call authorities.
