Car Crashes into Westport Condos

Upon arrival units found a black Infinity G37X coupe that had crashed into a large trellis and was up against the building with the driver walking around, according to Assistant Fire Chief John A. Plofkin, Jr.

The accident occured at the Lansdowne Condo Complex at 1630 Post Road East.

“The vehicle came to rest partially into the corner of the building and had damaged some exterior lighting along a walkway,” Plofkin said.

The town building official, building owner and a flatbed wrecker were requested to the scene to evaluate the damage to the building and to remove the vehicle.  personnel used a hydraulic jack to raise the trellis off of the car, and it was secured using wood shoring, which allowed the wrecker operator to remove the vehicle from the scene, Plofkin said.

The Westport Fire Department responded to the call with an engine company, rescue company and a shift commander, according to Plofkin. The last fire department unit left the scene just before 6 p.m.
