A southwest Miami-Dade homeowner said someone burglarized her house hours after a driver crashed their vehicle into it.
The crash happened around 5 p.m. Monday at Flora Pazos’ house on Southwest 34th Street when a driver of a black Mercedes zoomed through a privacy wall and slammed into her bathroom.
Surveillance video from a neighbor showed the car speeding down Southwest 82nd Avenue and blowing through a stop sign before hitting Pazos’ home.
Seconds later, a man, described by neighbors as the driver’s father, is seen in the video arriving and leaving his car in the middle of the street while running over to help.
“I don’t have a bathroom anymore because everything is broken, the bathroom, the closet, everything, the mirrors. Everything is on the floor,” Pazos said.
Pazos was in her living room and thankfully wasn’t injured, but said that hours after the crash, some thieves broke in and stole her laptop, jewelry and other items while she was staying at a family member’s home.
Workers were busy on Tuesday trying to clean up and close the hole at the home.
Investigators haven’t released the name or age of the driver but said she’s under and 18 and was hospitalized in stable condition.
