The crash happened at around 7:15 a.m. when the Mahopac Falls Volunteer Fire Department and Carmel VAC were dispatched to Hitchcock Hill Road for a single-vehicle accident.

Upon arrival, crews found the vehicle off the roadway and into the trees. EMS personnel assessed the driver at the scene before transporting them to a hospital for further evaluation, the fire department said.

Shortly after, emergency crews were dispatched to another crash on Bullet Hole Road, with responders warning of extremely slick conditions due to snow and ice.

"We urge all drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and use extreme caution in these winter conditions," the department wrote on social media.
