Two people injured in upside-down wreck near remote PBC canal
Two people were rescued Saturday afternoon from their upside-down vehicle in far southwestern Palm Beach County, fire rescue officials said.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue workers were sent just after noon Saturday to the 22000 block of Miami Canal Road, close to the Broward County line and about five miles west of U.S. 27, for a report of a car in a canal.
Rescuers discovered instead an upside-down vehicle in the muddy bank next to the canal. One person was trapped in the cab, and the other was under the vehicle itself, fire rescue officials said in a news release.
Four other agencies helped in the rescue: the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, and the Palm Beach County Health Care District, which provided a TraumaHawk helicopter.
Fire Rescue workers extricated the two people from the wreck, who were transported by TraumaHawk and the Broward Fire Rescue helicopter to a local trauma center.
Fire Rescue officials provided no further details.

Fuel tanker erupts in flames after crashing into Broward County bus on I-595, authorities say
A gasoline tanker caught fire Monday morning after sideswiping a parked transit bus and crashing into a median wall on Interstate 595, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash happened around 10 a.m. on the westbound lanes of I-595, just east of Southwest 136th Avenue. Authorities said the tanker sideswiped a disabled and unoccupied Broward County Transit bus that was stopped on the left shoulder, then veered into the median and struck the median wall. The vehicle continued traveling west for about a tenth of a mile before bursting into flames, police said. Davie Police and Fire Rescue responded to the scene and extinguished the fire. The driver of the tanker was transported to Broward Health Medical Center for treatment. His condition has not been released. Westbound traffic on I-595 was diverted to State Road 84 at the Hiatus Road exit as crews worked the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

See it: Rescue of motorcyclist after 100 foot plunge in San Bernardino Mountains
CAJON PASS, Calif – San Bernardino County Fire Rescue teams were called to a vehicle collision in a remote area of the San Bernardino Mountains for a crash involving a motorcycle, a half-mile off the Cleghorn Trail. A motorcycle rider had gone approximately 100 feet off the side of the road, sustaining moderate injuries, according to San Bernardino County Fire Officials. Due to the rugged and challenging terrain of the area, specialized Urban Search and Rescue teams were dispatched to assist. The video shows first responders using a rope rescue system to safely raise the rider back up to the road. Officials sent two ARVs (All-terrain Response Vehicles) to help in the rescue efforts because of the mountainous conditions.
