Firefighters assisted a man out of his car and transported him to the hospital after he drove his car over an embankment into a pond at a medical office building in Bannockburn.
The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District and Bannockburn Police Department responded around 12:45 p.m. Thursday to the North Shore Medical Group, 2151 Waukegan Road, for a report of a vehicle into the water.
Fire officials said a four-door passenger car had turned into the parking lot of the medical group from Waukegan Road.
The vehicle went over a curb and down an embankment into a small pond on the property.
The car was not submerged in the water but the driver was still inside the vehicle when the police department and fire department arrived.
Firefighters assisted the adult male driver from the car and up the embankment.
He was evaluated by paramedics and transported to a local hospital.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash and the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle.
The Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District responded to the scene to assist.
Fire officials said they did not know whether the crash was caused by the driver suffering a medical emergency or if it was caused by driver error.
