A Sunday afternoon hit-and-run in front of Miami Beach police headquarters sent a scooter rider to the hospital and shut down a block of southbound Washington Avenue.
Miami Beach police said a driver struck the scooter rider around 3:30 p.m. and Miami Beach Fire Rescue took him to Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.
The scooter lay on the sidewalk in front of the Chief Rocky Pomerance Plaza during the preliminary investigation as the 1100 block of Washington was closed.
