The “driver was able to self-extricate. No other passengers were in the vehicle,” sid the Assistance Fire Chief.

The “driver denied having any injuries and did not want to be checked out or transported to the hospital,” said Chief Schultz.

“The owner was bringing the vehicle into the shop for repairs and the breaks failed,” said Framingham Police spokesperson Lt. Rachel Mickens.

Henry’s Towing removed the vehicle from the stream.
