BOSTON (WHDH) – Boston firefighters responded to a motor vehicle accident Friday that left a minivan teetering 18 feet above a construction site.
Fire crews responded to the scene at the intersection of Beacon and Maitland streets at around 4:40 p.m. Officials said the minivan crashed with another car and then went through a fence.
Two people, including one using a wheelchair, were trapped inside as it dangled over the embankment.
After stabilizing the van, the two people inside were rescued by firefighters. The two people in the van and the drive of the other car were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
A tow truck has since removed the van from the scene.
