Investigators believe the car was traveling west on Route 59 when it crossed over the yellow line and into the driveway of Christ Church. At one point, the Jeep was airborne, and it came to a stop on its side in the pond, which is just outside of the church property.
Police said there are no signs of foul play. It's unknown when the crash specifically happened, but police believe it was overnight, which would mean hours went by before the incident was reported.
The Fairfield Police Department Accident Reconstruction Team was notified and responded to investigate. The Trumbull Police Dive Team was also notified and helped with evidence collection.
