Two people have serious injuries after a crash on Interstate 84 in Danbury late Monday night and fire officials said they found one victim several yards away from the vehicle and the other in a pool of water.
The Danbury Fire Department responded to I-84 East near exit 3 after getting several calls reporting a motor vehicle rollover and people possibly trapped. Once they arrived at the scene, they found damage to a vehicle, 200 feet of guardrail and a highway light pole, but no one was in the car, according to fire officials.
Using thermal imaging cameras, hand lights and scene lighting, crews started searching the woods and wetlands area along the highway and they found one person in a shallow depression 75 yards from the scene of the crash.
Then they found another victim in a pool of water around 25 to 30 yards from the first victim. The person had a minor head injury and signs of moderate to severe hypothermia, according to the fire department.
Crews brought the victim up an embankment to EMS units and both victims were transported to Danbury Hospital.
