VIDEO - A North Lauderdale Fire Rescue truck was involved in a serious crash Friday afternoon in Lauderhill, authorities said.
The crash was reported shortly after 3 p.m. in the area of Northwest 16th Street and State Road 7.
Authorities said the firetruck was transporting a high-priority pediatric patient to the hospital when the crash occurred.
A man, who identified himself as a AAA employee, told Local 10 News reporter Michael Seiden that he was towing a vehicle down State Road 7 and saw the firetruck in the distance through his rear-view mirror.
He said he merged into the right lane to allow the firetruck to pass, but his vehicle was struck from behind by the firetruck.
