Four people were killed in a two-vehicle crash on Monday night.
According to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR), firefighters were dispatched to South Military Trail south of the intersection of Champion Boulevard after they had received reports of a vehicle crash that ended with one of the cars on fire.
Crews were at the scene in less than three minutes. Upon arrival, they discovered one of the vehicles was in the bushes and that the vehicle’s engine compartment was on fire. The second vehicle had collided with a utility pole.
