Cape Coral Fire Department cautions drivers after overnight crashes

The Cape Coral Fire Department is warning drivers to be extra careful when driving at night after two crashes on Monday night that left people trapped in their cars.

The fire department says one of the crashes was a two-vehicle crash on NE 22nd Ave. and Hancock Bridge Pkwy. They say the other was a single-vehicle crash in the 3700 block of Country Club Blvd.

In both cases, the fire department says people were trapped and had to be rescued from their cars. They say there were also serious injuries as a result of each crash.

The Cape Coral Fire Department says it can be hard to see loose debris, downed cables, and other obstacles that may be on the roads at night and on streets that may be darker than usual. They are asking that everyone drives with caution.
