Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue extricated the passenger of a car that crashed into an excavation ditch around 7 a.m. Tuesday.

After BSO Fire Rescue got the 39-year-old man through the windshield, he was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital as a Level 2 (not outwardly serious) trauma patient, said BSO Fire Rescue’s Mike Jachles.

The driver of the car got out on his own with minor injuries, Jachles said.
