WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Two people were rushed to a hospital in West Palm Beach this morning after being involved in a rollover crash in the Acreage.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue crews were dispatched to 82 Road North and Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road at 10:29 a.m. to reports of a vehicle rollover. Arriving crews initially reported that all everyone was out of the sport utility vehicle, which had rolled over and was on all four tires.

But within two minutes of their arrival, crews requested the TraumaHawk air ambulance to the scene and said two people had to be rushed to the Trauma Center at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, said Capt. Albert Borroto, spokesman for fire rescue.

Borroto could not say if the two trauma patients were the only passengers in the vehicle or details about their gender or ages. At least one of the two patients has serious injuries.
