Vermont fire crews rescue motorist who drove into pond
Fire crews helped save a driver who crashed their vehicle into a pond in Huntington on Monday.
The Hinesburg Fire Department said they were called to help first responders from the Huntington Fire Department after a motorist crashed into a pond early Monday.
Crews found the driver still inside the partially-submerged vehicle, which was about 300 feet off the roadway.
Rescuers were able to work together to get the driver out of the vehicle and back to land. The victim was then taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The Hinesburg Fire Department said the rescue effort was a "nearly seamless" operation thanks to aid from its mutual aid partners in Huntington and St. George.
It is not clear how the vehicle wound up in the pond.
