Broward deputy injured after two prisoner transport vehicles crash with third car
A deputy with the Broward Sheriff’s Office received non-life threatening injuries after a van and a bus transporting dozens of prisoners and a third vehicle crashed Tuesday morning in Pompano Beach, according to the agency.
Detectives say the crash happened around 5:30 a.m. near West Atlantic Boulevard and North Andrews Avenue — with the van transporting seven prisoners and the bus 45. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue paramedics took the deputy to the hospital.
“No other injuries were reported; however, as a precaution, seven prisoners were also taken to a nearby hospital for medical clearance,” the agency said in a news release.
NBC 6 South Florida footage showed damage on the driver’s side of a white van.
Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating the crash.
