DERBY — A three-car crash in Derby on Friday sent two people to the hospital, police say.
The crash took place in the westbound lane of U.S. Route 5, in front of the Vianor Tire and Sears Store parking lots.
According to police, Linda Kudla, 65, of Derby, was stopped, signaling to turn left into the Sears Store parking lot, waiting for traffic to clear so she could proceed across the eastbound lane.
Police say Chelsey Christino, 24, of Newport, was also traveling west and stopped in traffic behind Kudla.
According to the report, the third vehicle was being operated by Tucker Crowe, 17, of Island Pond.
Police say by the time Crowe noticed the two cars were stopped, he was unable to stop and collided with Christino’s vehicle.
The force of the impact caused Christino to collide with Kudla.
Christino and her passenger, Tristin Webb, 20, of Newport, were transported to the North Country Hospital by the Newport Ambulance.
Police say Kudla’s vehicle was able to be driven from the scene.
