A driver went off Conant Road and got caught on rocks beside the road on Wednesday, Dec. 3, according to the Weston Police Department. No one was injured, and the 2018 Acura SE was able to drive away after it was removed.

The accident was called in at 8:52 a.m. Because the car had to be lifted off the rocks, multiple tow trucks were called to the scene, according to Lt. Detective Michael Forti.

He said the accident was likely due to road conditions.

“With all the weather the past couple of days, there’s only been a couple minor accidents, knock on wood,” Forti said.
