A Florida man driving a special truck designed to safely absorb the impact of crashes was killed after a car ploughed into the vehicle.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning on the southbound I-75 in Broward County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
 
The Scorpion Crash Truck – a specially designed vehicle that includes a crumple zone to protect highway workers – was following another truck that was moving slowly and painting lines on the road and shoulder.

Around 1.30 a.m., a pick-up truck towing a boat came up behind the workers but failed to slow down and crashed into the Scorpion truck.

However, the collision pushed the Scorpion truck into the vehicle in front of it and the driver, a 64-year-old man from Miami, sustained severe injuries.
