SEYMOUR — Firefighters quickly extricated a Seymour man who was pinned after a crash on Bungay Road Wednesday night, according to officials.
Police, medics and the Great Hill Hose fire company responded to a report of a car that crashed into a tree around 7:30 p.m. in the area of 170 Bungay Road, Deputy Police Chief Roberto Rinaldi said.
Fire officials said firefighters were notified of possible entrapment.
Rinaldi said responding officers found a 1998 Toyota Corolla that crashed “head-on into a tree and the operator was trapped inside.”
He said the driver — 35-year-old Roman Koffman, a Peach Drive resident — was extricated from the vehicle by the fire department.
Fire officials said units used hydraulic tools to cut the car’s roof off, quickly freeing the driver.
The Seymour man was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Rinaldi said.
An investigation reveled that the 35-year-old was headed north on Bungay Road when he “lost control of his vehicle, which went off the roadway and struck the tree,” Rinaldi said.
Koffman was charged with traveling too fast for conditions and a cellphone violation, according to the deputy chief.
While units were on scene, Bungay Road between Old Town Road and Canfield Road was shut down for about an hour.
