Florida woman crashes car ‘with accelerants’ into sheriff’s office

A woman crashed her car filled with fire accelerants into a Florida sheriff’s office.

The driver was taken to hospital after she rammed her red Toyota Camry into Broward County Sheriff’s office, in Pembroke Park, Florida, at around 11.30am on Monday morning.

The car crashed through the wall, into the office’s community service room and burst into flames.

A worker, who had been painting the office at the time, rushed to help the woman from the flaming wreck.

The driver was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital with third degree burns while the worker who helped her was also hospitalized, after hurting herself getting the woman out the car. 

Crews were working to remove a vehicle that was driven into a Broward Sheriff’s Office sub-station in Pembroke Park Monday morning

Police closed off the scene as emergency crews dealt with smoke inside the District 1 office with a red car visible inside

BSO confirmed that the woman driving the vehicle, which early reports say had a full tank of gasoline, was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital (pictured, emergency responders at the scene)

Video from the scene shows fire and emergency crews responding to the car which is inside the building.

It is not yet clear whether the woman, whose name is being withheld from the public crashed into the sheriff’s office intentionally, or her motives to do so.

BSO’s Violent Crimes Unit is investigating.
