One male occupant was trapped inside the vehicle, prompting firefighters to upgrade the response to a physical rescue. Using heavy rescue equipment, crews lifted the car off the fence and extricated the trapped individual. He was transported to a local hospital in an unknown condition.

A second male occupant also sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital. His condition remains unclear.
