According to WSVN, the truck struck the medical center at 3670 W. Oakland Park Blvd. before catching fire. First responders put out the flames, and deputies cited the truck driver, the station reported.
CBS News Miami also reported that an investigation was underway into a separate truck crash at a medical center on West Oakland Park Boulevard, and officials said no injuries were reported. No cause has been confirmed in the available coverage, and no report in the provided search results specifically matches the initial dispatch address of 3681 W. Oakland Park Blvd.
