FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Three people were taken to the hospital following a violent overnight crash in Fort Lauderdale that shut down several blocks of a major roadway.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the two-vehicle wreck at the intersection of West Broward Boulevard and Northwest Seventh Avenue, at around 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday.
Witnesses said a white car had the green light and was traveling down Seventh Avenue when a black car traveling on Broward Boulevard ran the red light and struck the white car.
Witnesses said one of the vehicles involved spun out of control and struck a FLFR truck that was waiting to turn left on the intersection.
Less than two hours later, an aerial view of the crash captured the two civilian vehicles involved with significant damage.
It appears crews had to use the Jawns of Life to extricate the occupants of the white car. The black sedan showed extensive front-end damage, and the front bumper of the fire engine lay on the pavement.
Officials said none of the firefighters on board the truck were injured.
Paramedics transported the adult victims to the trauma center at Broward Health Medical Center. Their conditions are unknown.
First responders have shut down Broward Boulevard in both directions between Seventh and Ninth avenues. They urge drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
