Despite surveillance video, deputies reported a 78-year-old woman denied having been involved in a recent hit-and-run crash that injured a man.

Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Miriam Erice on Tuesday night at an apartment at 9520 SW 8 St., in the Westchester neighborhood.

Erice was driving a white 2018 Buick Encore sports utility vehicle when she struck a man shortly before 10:40 a.m., on Thursday, at the parking lot of the Clinical Care Medical Center, at 7500 SW 8 St.

“The victim fell and struck his face against the ground. The subject then drove over the victim’s legs with the vehicle,” a deputy wrote in the arrest report.

Surveillance video shows Erice did not stop to help the man and drove away, according to the arrest report.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel took the man, whose condition was critical, to Kendall Regional Hospital.

Correctional officers booked Erice at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. She was facing a charge of leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury.

Erice appeared in Miami-Dade County court on Wednesday and a judge set her bond at $5,000.
