MIAMI, FL – A 19-year-old man is facing serious charges after a high-speed chase with state troopers ended in multiple collisions on the Palmetto Expressway. Jorge Hernandez, now held in Miami-Dade County Jail, was apprehended following the chaotic pursuit.
Authorities allege that Hernandez was spotted speeding and weaving through traffic, prompting troopers to attempt a traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, Hernandez reportedly continued driving recklessly, using the shoulder of the road and ultimately sideswiping two vehicles before crashing into two others.
Dash cam footage captures the dramatic conclusion of the chase, showing Hernandez pulling over, exiting his vehicle with his hands raised, and surrendering to law enforcement officers.
Inside the vehicle, Hernandez’s girlfriend was present during the ordeal. In the footage, Hernandez is heard apologizing to her, expressing regret for the incident.
During the arrest, Hernandez claimed he was unaware of the troopers’ flashing lights and sirens, despite video evidence suggesting otherwise. The interaction between Hernandez and the troopers highlights the tense moments leading up to his arrest.
In a court appearance, Hernandez faced charges including aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer, along with three counts of reckless driving. The arrest report also indicates that investigators discovered several items in his vehicle, including vape products containing concentrated cannabis, scales, and a yellow bag suspected to contain cannabis.
The court proceedings shed light on the gravity of his actions, with the judge emphasizing the seriousness of the charges.
Hernandez’s legal troubles are compounded by the evidence found in his vehicle, which may lead to additional charges related to drug possession.
As the investigation continues, Hernandez remains in custody, awaiting further legal proceedings.
