First arriving crews found a vehicle at the bottom the seawall which was about a 30 foot drop and it was on its roof with one person still inside.

Once reaching the vehicle, Fire Department personnel checked the driver for injuries and then began a complicated removal due to their upside down position and seat belted in the seat.

The driver was safely removed and reevaluated for any injuries, who was conscious and alert. They were then carried up to the awaiting ambulance and transported to Yale – New Haven Hospital for further medical evaluation. All Fire Department personnel were cleared from the scene at 12:55pm.
