NORWICH, CT - On Sunday, September 25th at 3:30 P.M., the East Great Plain Vol. Fire Co. was dispatched to the area of 691 West Thames St. for a one-car rollover with entrapment.

Car 5 arrived within a few minutes and found a car that went over an embankment and was resting on its roof with two occupants still inside. The passenger was able to self-extricate after Car 5 arrived, and the driver stated that she couldn't get out but that she wasn't injured.
