Paramedics transported three people to the hospital but their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. There were no road closures in the area, police said.

The fire department said that if motorists are trapped after a collision, they should call 911 if they can and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.

“Keep your seatbelt on until firefighters arrive, especially if you happen to be upside down,” the service advised. “You don’t want to fall and further injure yourself or someone else who is in the vehicle with you.

“If you are in a collision and first responders advise that extrication will be required, be prepared for loud noises inside the vehicle while the firefighters use their tools. Don’t be alarmed. Your firefighter guide will always be checking in with you and keeping you safe.”
