A young child needed to be the one who went to get help late Sunday morning after a crash left the driver pinned inside a vehicle.
According to the Madison Fire Department, the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed when it went through a fence near the S. Stoughton Road and Pflaum Road intersection and crashed into a large garage. The wreck caused significant damage the building and trapped the driver.
The child, who the fire department said is around eight years old, got out of the vehicle and walked to a nearby business to get assistance, the MFD report stated. When first responders arrived around 10:30 a.m., they were quickly able to tell the building, which was filled with smoke coming from the vehicle, was not likely to collapse and went to work freeing the driver.
