Cellphone video captured the moment an intense police chase ended in a rollover crash on Miami Beach.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, shortly after 7:30 p.m. Sunday, troopers tried to stop a stolen Toyota SUV in the area of Alton Road and 56th Street.

The driver in the SUV didn't stop and attempted to flee from troopers, officials said.

After a short chase, a trooper conducted a PIT maneuver on the entrance ramp to westbound I-195 from Alton Road causing the SUV to roll over.

The driver was then apprehended without further incident. He was later identified as 46-year-old Savalas Cigar, who faces charges of fleeing and eluding police and grand theft.
