7 people, including a child, injured after a large accident on I-595 in Fort Lauderdale, officials say

Broward officials are at the scene of a large accident on Interstate 595 in Fort Lauderdale.

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office fire department, a cement truck and a taxi collided with each other off the ramp connecting to I-95 Southbound.

Florida Highway Patrol said that the taxi cab was stopped in the outside lane which resulted in the front of the cement truck they describe as a semi tractor trailer colliding with the taxi's rear. 

BSO Fire confirmed four adults and one child were transported as trauma alerts to the hospital. Two other adults sustained minor injuries.

FHP confirmed that all seven patients were transported to both Memorial and Broward General Hospital. According to FHP, two are in critical condition but are expected to survive. It is unclear if the people in critical condition also includes the child. 

Chopper 4 was on the scene, where you can see the taxi completely mangled on the side of the ramp. The cement truck was seen completely mangled on the front portion of the truck. Both vehicles also were seen collided into a concrete barrier of the ramp. 

FHP said that 25-50 gallons of fuel leaked from the tractor cab, which resulted in a hazmat response. The ramp was closed for hours but has since reopened. 

No additional information has been released, including the cause of the crash and the identities of the people involved.
