Car Ends Up In River In New Milford

Addis Park in New Milford briefly closed on Sunday after a car plunged into the Housatonic River. Authorities confirmed there were no injuries, and the park reopened as usual today. However, it may face additional closures if the vehicle cannot be removed promptly. The car was not retrieved Sunday night due to the time constraints. Mayor Pete Bass updated the situation via social media, indicating that the park would open a half-hour before sunrise this morning, but could close again today as recovery efforts continue.
