Sgt. Robert Peck said the marked Taurus was driving westbound on Atlantic, responding to an emergency call, when a Toyota Corolla was northbound on Century 21 Drive. The two cars collided in the intersection.

Images from Sky4 showed the cruiser hit a traffic light pole after the collision, and the Corolla remained in the middle of the intersection.

JSO said investigators are working to determine fault.

Both drivers were taken to the hospital.

The road reopened around 1:30 p.m.
