Thankfully, the victim was conscious and was able to help the first responders when trying to get extracted from the vehicle. The victim was transported to the hospital after being cared for by EMS on scene.

Both Eversource and Frontier Communication crews were on scene to repair the broken pole and wires from the accident, and the road was closed for most of the night to make sure everything was cleared.

There is no further report about the status of the driver. Another thank you and great job to our local first responders for always doing everything they can to keep our city safe.

Danbury, CT has it's fair share of signs, these are just a bit more interesting than your average public message.
