Five Civilians Hurt When Car Strikes Florida Emergency Vehicles Along I-95

Five people were hospitalized after an overnight crash involving an Florida Highway Patrol cruiser and a Jacksonville Fire-Rescue vehicle.

No officers or rescue personnel were injured, but a child and four others were taken to the hospital.

No of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening. No information was available whether anyone would be cited with causing the accident.
