DEERFIELD — A man was placed under arrest but escaped serious injury after his vehicle left Stillwater Road and came to rest nearly vertically down an embankment Tuesday evening.
The car, a red Nissan Altima with Connecticut plates, crashed around 7:15 p.m. where the road curves uphill from Stillwater Bridge. Deerfield Police Sgt. Harry Ruddock III said the driver was arrested, but declined to release additional details at the scene.
The man was evaluated by South County EMS but was not seriously injured, according to officials. The Deerfield Fire Department also responded.
