Four people are in the hospital following a traffic crash involving a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue vehicle in North Miami.
According to officials, North Miami Police and MDFR responded to the scene of a crash involving a rescue truck along Northwest 135th Street, just west of Interstate 95 around 4:20 p.m., Friday.
7Skyforce flew above the scene of the crash, capturing the front-end damage on the rescue truck.
Officials say the truck was transporting a patient from a previous call when the crash happened. That patient was transferred to another unit and taken to a local hospital.
Another vehicle appeared to have careened into a nearby pole following the crash.
Authorities are redirecting traffic through a nearby parking lot to go around the crash.
Cameras for 7News also captured a man being loaded onto a stretcher by paramedics before being placed into the back of an ambulance.
He was taken to a nearby hospital.
MDFR says three of their employees were also transported to a local hospital to be evaluated.
His exact condition and the circumstances that led to the crash are unknown.
