Video shows wild high speed FHP chase of driver on I-95 02:30

MIAMI BEACH – A wild chase through Miami-Dade County over the weekend ended with one person dead and three others in custody.

Florida Highway Patrol released video of the chase, which started Saturday just after 2 a.m. after a trooper spotted the driver of a white Mercedes-Benz weaving in and out of traffic on I-95 near NW 119 Street.

The driver was later identified as 20-year-old Andrew Martinez, according to the FHP.

When the trooper tried to pull him over, Martinez reportedly sped off.

Martinez, who was heading south, exited toward Miami Beach clocking speeds of more than 130 miles per hour, according to the FHP.  At the Alton Road exit, he lost control and crashed. The trooper also crashed, slamming into the water.

FHP said Martinez and three others bailed from the car but the trooper was able to stop two of them.

“Get out of the car! Get out of the car! Don’t move,” the trooper could be heard yelling as he ran over to them.
