Martin County Fire Rescue (MCFR) responded to a two-vehicle crash that left one driver trapped on Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n
According to Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at the intersection of Southeast Bridge Road and the Interstate 95 southbound exit ramp in Martin County. <\/p>\n
Officials say the accident, which occurred just after 8 a.m., involved a 2026 Cadillac Escalade and a 2020 Volkswagen Jetta. The Jetta was traveling south on the exit ramp from I-95, approaching the stop sign at the intersection, while the Escalade was traveling west in the right lane of SE Bridge Road, approaching the I-95 exit ramp. <\/p>\n
The Jetta failed to stop at the stop sign and the Escalade collided with the left side of the car, pushing it 50 feet west of the intersection. <\/p>\n
The impact of the crash trapped the driver of the Jetta, a 49-year-old man from Port St. Lucie, and firefighters had to perform an extraction, which involved “popping” the doors, removing the roof and using hydraulic tools to “roll” the dashboard forward. <\/p>\n
The driver of the Jetta was transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center. <\/p>\n
