A Mercedes SUV ended up in the water Sunday in Gilford after the driver suffered an apparent medical emergency, the fire department said.
Gilford Fire Rescue said a woman was driving with her daughter near Weirs Road. The SUV started going off the road near Meadowbrook Lane, went through the woods, through the front lawn of some condos, popped out in front of a business, through a guard rail and into the water.
"The car was submerged, I ran over, I called 9-1-1. A couple of other guys were there. It was a mother and her small child. They grabbed a knife, they cut her out of the car. And thank God everyone’s ok," said Kyle Albuquerque, who works nearby.
The mother and daughter were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay.
Booms and other absorbing materials were deployed to help with a spill and DES will do an assessment, the fire department said.
New Hampshire DOT was called to assess damage to the road and guardrail.
