Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said two people in the van were taken to a local hospital as trauma alerts and were in critical condition.

"The wreckage of this traffic accident is pretty horrific so there is a good chance that the two individuals who fled may be injured but there's really no way to tell until we locate those two people," Miami-Dade Police Dte. Andre Martin said.
According to police, the incident began with a theft at a convenience store. A Miami-Dade Schools Police officer who was looking for the suspected thieves came across the crash scene.
It's unknown if the people in the truck may have been connected to the theft.
Sebastian Lopez, who lives on the corner, said he woke up to the sound of the impact.
“It sounded like a bullet," Lopez said. "It was crazy."
No other information was immediately known.
