| On Monday, September 3, 2013 at 10:08 AM, Cheshire Fire units were dispatched to the area of Waterbury Road and Prospect Road for a motor vehicle accident. Upon arrival at the scene, Chief Casner found a vehicle off the road and down an embankment and well into the woods. The vehicle was on its side with one occupant trapped inside.
The location of the vehicle and distance from the roadway above presented unique and difficult accessibility challenges for Fire and Police personnel.
Cheshire Fire Fighters immediately descended down the embankment and began to stabilize the vehicle and assess the occupant's condition. Fire Fighters and Police Officers were able to gain access to the occupant and safely remove her from vehicle within a short amount of time.
The driver of the vehicle was transported to a local hospital for further treatment and observation.
The accident is under investigation by the Cheshire Police Department. |
