Cypress Pointe said a witness observed a car run off the side of the road, disappear into the woods, and hit a retaining wall.
“Upon arrival, CPFR units determined that the vehicle had run through the stop sign on Vass-Carthage Road, crossed U.S. 1 Business, and entered a wooded area behind the Citgo store across from Vass-Carthage Road,” said Cypress Pointe Fire and Rescue on its Facebook page.
Fire and EMS personnel assisted the driver in safely exiting the car.
