New Milford Police received multiple 911 calls around 4:18 a.m., about a single-car crash in front of 632 Asbury St., according to Police Chief Brian Clancy. Officers arrived alongside the New Milford Fire Department and Holy Name EMS to find the wrecked vehicle and a damaged fire hydrant.
The driver admitted to police that he lost control due to speeding and is facing reckless and careless driving summonses, Clancy said. Despite the dramatic crash, he managed to extricate himself from the overturned vehicle.
Holy Name EMS evaluated the teen at the scene, but he declined further medical treatment, signing a Refusal of Medical Assistance (RMA) before being transported home, police said.
Authorities notified Veolia Water about the damaged hydrant, Clancy confirmed. No other injuries were reported.
