Madison firefighters helped rescue an unconscious driver who was pinned inside their vehicle following a crash. Dispatch received a call around 2:15 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of Atlas Avenue. Crews responded to the scene two minutes later. Firefighters said when they arrived, they found a vehicle with massive front-end damage against a tree and smoke was coming from the engine. Paramedics told firefighters there was someone still in the vehicle, but they could not open the door due to the damage. According a release, firefighters broke a window to release some of the smoke and were able to open a door and remove the driver from the vehicle. Officials say the driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries.
