Car collides with Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue vehicle

MIAMI - A crash involving a Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue vehicle disrupted traffic at Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road on Friday afternoon, closing part of the roads.

Aerial footage captured by Chopper 4 showed a white sedan with heavy damage to the front area of the vehicle. Images also showed the rescue vehicle on the side of the road. 

Two people -- a firefighter and the driver of the sedan -- were taken to an area hospital and were reported in stable condition. 

The rescue vehicle was responding to a call when the car did not yield to the vehicle, a Pembroke Pines Police spokesman said.  

The rescue vehicle then crashed into an electrical pole, resulting in a loss of power for the intersection. 

The crash caused significant traffic delays in the area.
