Crash on Route 982 at Chappell Way, 8/23/17


Four people were taken by ambulance for treatment after a two-car crash Wednesday night on Route 982 in the McChesneytown area.

The crash happened at 7:30 p.m. near Route 982's intersection with Chappell Way, when a car crashed into a sport utility vehicle, flipping the SUV in a front yard and leaving the car in a nearby field.

Firefighters on scene said a woman who was taken by ambulance is the owner of the home where the SUV crashed, and she suffered a “medical emergency” when the crash occurred.

One man involved in the crash was transported from the scene by state police, who could not be immediately reached for comment.

Firefighters on scene said they did not believe there were any major injuries.
