Fifteen people were sent to the hospital following a crash between a fire rescue truck responding to a medical call, a pickup truck and a small bus in Florida.
Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR) said that just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, "units were dispatched to reports of a motor vehicle accident involving an MCFR Rescue, a pickup truck and a small bus at the intersection of SW 90th Street and SW 80th Avenue."
Multiple people who called 911 said that the MCFR Rescue vehicle was rolled over on its side after being hit.
The accident happened near the MCFR Friendship Fire Station #21, according to a department Facebook post, so firefighters arrived at the scene within one minute of being dispatched and immediately began assisting patients from all three vehicles.
