Woman steals truck with child inside and crashes multiple times, cops say

One woman is facing charges and another is hospitalized with critical injuries following a carjacking, a kidnapping, and a couple of collisions, police said.

It began about midnight Tuesday when a woman’s car broke down on Interstate 95 near the exit to Ives Dairy Road in Miami-Dade County, investigators said.

When another motorist stopped to help, the woman whose car broke down jumped in their truck and drove off with two passengers inside: a grandmother and her 11-month-old granddaughter, officials said.

That truck was involved in two collisions in Miramar a short time later, said police spokeswoman Tania Rues.
