FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA:
Three
cars and a tanker truck crashed Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, leaving one car
mangled and the truck leaking fluid.
The
crash happened around 11:15 a.m. at State Road 84 and U.S. 1. The cause of the
crash is under investigation but it appears the truck might have rear-ended one
of the cars, said Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Heiser.
A
hazardous materials team responded following initial reports of fuel leaking
from the truck, which was filled with gasoline, Heiser said. The leak, which
was coming from the front of the truck, turned out to be transmission and
radiator fluids.
One
car had heavy damage, particularly to the rear, while the other two cars had
minor to moderate damage, Heiser said.
"Amazingly,
there were no injuries and no one was transported from the scene," he
said.
