Authorities said the crash resulted in injuries but did not identify whether any of the injuries were life-threatening. The department’s traffic unit was gathering information, and drivers were urged to expect delays in the area while cleanup continued.

The department asked residents with information relevant to either incident, or anyone who witnessed the events, to contact police. Officials said additional updates would be provided as investigative steps are completed and more facts are confirmed.
