A young Florida woman was killed when she violently crashed into the rear of a fire apparatus that was parked at the scene of a previous collision.

According to WKMG News, the 21-year-old Ocala woman crashed into the back of the Sumter County Fire Department rig just before 3 am Friday while it was parked along I-75 near Wildwood with its emergency lights engaged.

A photo released by the Florida Highway Patrol shows the vehicle's front end completely crumpled beneath the rear of the apparatus, hinting that she must have been traveling at a high rate of speed.
