Officer treated, released after cruiser strikes tree on Federal Highway

Investigators were at the scene late Saturday night of where a mangled Fort Lauderdale police cruiser came to a rest along North Federal Highway.

It was unclear whether anyone was hurt in the accident, which happened in the 5100 block of North Federal Highway. It forced the temporary closure of the northbound lanes just past 10 p.m.

Spokespeople for the police and fire departments in Fort Lauderdale couldn't be immediately reached for comment, so no additional information about the accident was available.

This story will be updated as soon as the agencies provide any information.
