At least three people, including a child, were taken to the hospital following a fiery crash in Hallandale Beach early Friday, police said.
The crash happened at the intersection of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and U.S. 1 (Federal Highway) at 12:41 a.m., near a Flanigan’s restaurant, according to police. The intersection was closed for hours during the investigation and cleanup, and reopened around 7 a.m.
Based on the preliminary investigation, a driver in a Range Rover collided with another car, and then crashed into the nearby Flanigan’s, police said. The Range Rover then went up in flames.
The driver of both vehicles, as well as a child that was in a child seat, were taken to the hospital. Police did not disclose their medical conditions.
TV news video recorded a tow truck pulling the Range Rover over a small concrete barrier wall, with damage to the Flanigan’s outdoor patio area. The force of the crash hurled a car engine into the road.
Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
