“At 9:20pm Thursday night, the Westborough Fire Department received a 911 call reporting that a car was in a river along a residential street.
Upon arrival to 25 Maynard Street, Westborough Rescue 1 and Medic 4 discovered a severely damaged vehicle partially submerged in the Assabet River.
Residents of Maynard Street who heard the loud sound of the crash, raced to the scene and helped the sole occupant from their car. Preliminary investigation suggests that the car was traveling eastbound on Maynard Street, when for unknown reasons, lost control and went into the river.
The road was closed for approximately 45 minutes until a crane would arrive to pull the damaged vehicle from the waters.
The driver was not injured and refused medical transport. The accident is currently under investigation and the story is developing.
