One person was seriously injured in a highway accident that snarled the morning commute yesterday.  Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Company and EMS were dispatched to Interstate 84 East between Exits 8 and 9 shortly after 7am.  The single vehicle was found in the woods with a person heavily entrapped.  State Police and Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Company also responded. Members used the HURST Jaws of Life to free the single occupant in approximately 25 minutes. Members had to cut the doors and roof off to access the driver. Firefighters remained on the scene until the vehicle was towed out from the woods. The occupant was transported to Danbury Hospital with serious injuries.
