NORTH PORT, Fla. — Police say a Florida EMS truck was struck head-on in a crash caused by distracted driving.
The North Port Fire-Rescue truck was responding to a car crash when the collision occurred, according to FOX 13. Police said the other driver hit the rig head-on while swerving to avoid rear-ending another car that had stopped for the rig.
The EMS crewmembers and the other driver were not injured in the crash.
North Port Fire-Rescue Deputy Chief Scott Lane said the incident should be a reminder to motorists to always pay attention on the road.
Police issued a citation to the driver for causing the crash.
