A driver going east on Tokeneke Road left the roadway just before 6 a.m. Saturday, crashing into Five Mile River.
He was able to get out of the car and was uninjured, Police Chief Jeremiah Marron Jr. said in a news release.
The Patrol Division of Darien Police Department is still investigating the accident and no further details will be released, Marron said. Police did not say whether the driver was charged with anything, and they didn’t say how the accident might have happened or whether air bags in the sedan inflated.
Close to three months ago, two cars left Tokeneke Road and ended up in the river, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old Bridgeport man.
First Selectman Jon Zagrodzky posted the following pictures from the scene on Facebook, wherehe wrote: “A shout out to all Darien and Norwalk first responders who worked the accident on Tokeneke Road this morning. Thanks to all! No serious injuries, fortunately.”

The water apparently isn’t deep there.

The front of the car doesn’t look totally crushed, but wait till you see it after it was lifted and put down on the bridge.

The underside of the front shows more damage. Did the front air bags inflate?
