Car Crash at Doral Intersection Leads to Arrest of Anthony Saavedra

A car crash at an intersection in Doral, Miami has resulted in one person being arrested and a police investigation underway. The suspect, identified as Anthony Saavedra, 42, from Hialeah, was taken into custody following the incident.

According to law enforcement officials, Saavedra had been released from probation in May 2023 but has an extensive criminal record. His previous charges include grand theft, leaving the scene of an accident, aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, fleeing/eluding authorities, and drug possession.

The events unfolded on Thursday morning when Saavedra was driving a stolen black Audi. He allegedly attempted to ram into a marked police vehicle before fleeing from officers. Following the collision with the police car, authorities established a perimeter around the area to investigate further.

After crashing his vehicle, Saavedra abandoned it and sought refuge inside Trump National Doral Miami near Northwest 87th Avenue and Northwest 36th Street. Video footage captured by surveillance cameras showed a law enforcement agent speaking to Saavedra while he remained inside their patrol car.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported as Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units arrived at the scene alongside law enforcement personnel conducting their investigation. The focus now lies on gathering information related to this incident involving Anthony Saavedra's arrest for multiple offenses stemming from his alleged involvement in the car crash and subsequent attempt to evade capture.
