A high-speed passenger train collided with a fire truck in Delray Beach, Florida, on Saturday morning, resulting in injuries to three firefighters and multiple train passengers. The incident occurred at 10:45 am in the bustling downtown area, as reported by numerous media outlets.

The Brightline train stopped on the tracks with significant damage, while the Delray Beach Fire Rescue truck's ladder was found detached in a nearby grassy area. Three firefighters from Delray Beach were reported to be in stable condition at a local hospital, while Palm Beach County Fire Rescue transported 12 train passengers with minor injuries.
