The incident happened on Monday, Oct. 16 around 1:30 p.m., when crews from the Millwood Volunteer Fire Co. #1 and the Ossining Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded to a rollover crash in Millwood on Route 134 at the intersection with Grace Lane.
According to Millwood Fire, arriving firefighters discovered that the car had lost control and crashed into a rock before flipping and landing in crush 75 feet from the roadway.
Because the car was an electric vehicle, crews had to be extra cautious while removing it from the brush, as the lithium-ion battery could have caused a "serious, difficult to control fire" if damaged, the department said.
The car's driver was able to get out of the vehicle on their own and was taken to Westchester Medical Center with minor injuries.
