A driver was pulled from an SUV that drove off a road and into a river in Concord, Massachusetts, Monday, officials said.
The driver was flown to a trauma center in the Boston area, the Concord police and fire departments said. Their condition wasn't immediately provided.
Two people, including an off-duty police officer, rushed down an embankment to help the driver, whose vehicle was lying in three feet of water in the Assabet River off Lowell Road, but couldn't get them out, officials said. Eventually, firefighters cut off the door and were able to haul the person up the embankment to a waiting ambulance.
The incident was reported about 2:30 p.m.
