A driver was hospitalized after their car flipped over and landed against brush on Fair Street in Carmel Wednesday afternoon. A Putnam County Sheriff's Office sergeant helped the driver out before fire and EMS crews arrived. The crash happened around 2:18 p.m. at 173 Fair St., setting off a multi-agency response of firefighters, police and paramedics.
According to DailyVoice.com, the driver was hospitalized after the single-vehicle rollover in Putnam County, with the vehicle coming to rest against brush after it overturned. A Putnam County Sheriff's Office sergeant helped the driver out before fire and EMS crews arrived, the outlet reported.
The driver was transported to Danbury Hospital with advanced life support care for evaluation and treatment, according to the report.
Fire, Police and EMS Crews All Responded
The response included the Carmel Fire Department, Carmel Police, the Carmel Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Empress EMS Medic 3, Daily Voice reported. The outlet said fire officials had not provided details about the driver's injuries or what caused the rollover.
Second Fair Street Crash In Less Than A Month
The Fair Street rollover came less than a month after a separate crash at Fair Street and Gleneida Avenue. The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to that crash at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11. Sheriff Brian Hess announced the arrest of 19-year-old Esdras R. Cardona Ovalle of Carmel. Deputies said he attempted to flee the scene and later charged him with aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated, obstructing governmental administration and vehicle-and-traffic-law infractions. The sheriff's office said no one was seriously injured.
A fatal Carmel crash was reported the day before Wednesday's rollover, according to Mid Hudson News. The material cited here does not establish that crash's exact location or circumstances, so it does not support a direct comparison with the Fair Street rollover.
It remains unclear whether drugs, alcohol, speeding or another factor played a role in Wednesday's Fair Street rollover, and no charges have been reported in connection with the crash. Fire officials have not released further details on the driver's condition at Danbury Hospital.
