A Florida sheriff’s deputy was killed in a crash while on his way to a reported domestic dispute early Sunday morning, officials said.

The deputy was responding to the call around 3 a.m. when his vehicle crashed with a Toyota Tundra at an intersection in Deerfield Beach, which is about 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale, according to The Broward Sheriff's Office.

In a Facebook post, the office said another deputy, who was heading to the domestic call in a separate vehicle, witnessed the crash and “immediately called for help.”

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue rushed the deputy and the only person who was in the pickup truck to a nearby hospital.

The deputy, who has not yet been identified, “succumbed to his injuries” and was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the Facebook post.
