The crash took place around 8.40am on Sunday, October 12, outside Norman's Tavern at 6770 Collins Avenue. Surveillance video shows the white Tesla slamming into and uprooting a palm tree before hitting a few empty tables and chairs, launching dirt and debris across the patio. At least three men can then be seen getting out of the vehicle and placing their hands on their heads in disbelief before retrieving their belongings from the car and running away. 'I heard a car going fast and I heard some sirens too and then there was a loud crash,' a bystander told NBC Miami.

Miami Beach Police said that by the time officers arrived, all of the car's occupants were gone. Two of them were later detained, according to police, who said the group were tourists who had been on their way to the airport.
