BATON ROUGE – All lanes of Florida Boulevard are opened following a closure to traffic at Wooddale Street due to an accident involving a firetruck Wednesday morning.

According to BRPD, the fire department was responding to a call when it got "t-boned" by a Toyota Camry at Wooddale and Florida. According to BRPD, the eastbound middle and outside lanes of Florida Boulevard came to a stop, but the Camry was in the inside lane and did not stop resulting in it hitting the truck.

Three people in the vehicle went to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Three firefighters were also taken to the hospital and the driver was knocked unconscious but regained consciousness before being transported. The other two firefighters sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Traffic cameras showed a firetruck blocking the road and first responders at the scene.
