Lauderhill Fire Rescue - Victim extrication

Lauderhill Fire Rescue, (Engine 57, Quint 73, Rescue 73), extricate a woman trapped after a collision with a small semi. Rescuers had to cut the car roof off. Traffic on the 6-lane road was shut down in both directions at one point. Temperature was in the mid-90s on this hot sunny South Florida afternoon, with humidity right up there as well.

The woman appeared to be fine, with some cuts and bruises, but it was hard to tell from a distance. I just happened to be around. Lauderhill is in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area.
