According to NBC 6 Miami, the collision involved a flatbed semi truck and a sedan. Footage shows firefighters working to pull the motorist out of the wrecked sedan, which can be seen partially beneath the trailer. 

The motorist was then taken to a nearby hospital as a trauma patient. The extent of their injuries is not clear. 

“The driver is very lucky, fortunately there was [sic.] no fatalities here,” Hollywood Police spokesperson Christian Lata said.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
