Florida Highway Patrol vehicle hit when stopped for school bus

A three-vehicle crash involved a Florida Highway Patrol vehicle in Palm City on Feb. 2, said FHP Lt. Indiana Miranda.

The patrol vehicle was stopped for a school bus about 2:20 p.m. in the eastbound lane of Southwest Martin Highway, just west of Southwest 66th Avenue, when a Dodge Ram 3500 truck rear-ended the patrol vehicle, Miranda said. Then, the front of an Infiniti vehicle hit the back of the truck.
