Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, with a tow truck arriving shortly after the incident was reported. The vehicle was located approximately 50 to 60 feet off the roadway, which presented challenges for the towing crew. They needed additional tools to cut through the damaged fence to safely retrieve the vehicle.
