Multiple people were rushed to the hospital after a fiery crash in Oakland Park Saturday night.
The crash happened shortly after 9:30 p.m. in the area of the 1300 block of East Oakland Park Boulevard.
Oakland Park Fire Rescue said six people were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Two vehicles were involved in the crash, according to Oakland Park Fire Rescue.
“I was walking my dogs out here and I just heard a huge explosion and I saw smoke going up,” said Bart Habura, who is currently vacationing in South Florida.
“I ran down the street and saw two damaged cars, and I saw like three people from another car with a rescue team,” Habura said.
Habura spoke to a nearby driver who narrowly missed being involved in the accident.
“It was very scary and the guy who was right behind the crash was in shock. He was like I’m just going to pray because I was right behind those two cars,” Habura said.
Employees at nearby businesses said accidents like this are common in the area and they want people to slow down and be more careful when driving.
For now, the condition of the people in the hospital is not known.
