The 826 was closed for hours late Friday night in Medley after police say an enraged driver pulled a gun on one motorist and crashed into another.

The incident began in Pinecrest.  Police say a man pulled out a gun after being cut off by another driver. The suspect, now under arrest, then hopped on the Palmetto Expressway in South Miami-Dade and continued north to where things came to a crashing end at the Palmetto near Okeechobee road. There, he crashed into an SUV and continued speeding off.

Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol were able to catch and arrest him. The man who had the gun pulled on him was tailing the suspect the entire time-- trying to help police.  He was not injured.


Another person is in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
