A jury found that a Miami police officer was mostly to blame for an auto collision in a Miami intersection, and it awarded nearly $110,000 to the civilian motorist involved in the accident.

On May 1, 2016, plaintiff Veronica Sarria, 18, a college student, was driving on Northwest Fifth Court, near its intersection at Northwest 62nd Street in Miami. While she was proceeding through the intersection, her sport utility vehicle struck the right side of a police cruiser that was being driven by police officer Miguel Medina, who was traveling on Northwest 62nd Street. Sarria claimed that she suffered injuries of her back and neck.
