At 7:30 a.m. on August 22, 2024 HVFC, with mutual aid from Chester Hose Company Inc., responded to an accident on Route 9 North between exits 10 and 13. A vehicle veered off the road and went about fifty feet down an embankment. The driver was evaluated on scene and refused additional medical treatment. Crews blocked one lane of traffic while the vehicle was removed from the woods. The accident is under investigation by the Connecticut State Police.
