NISKAYUNA – A Sunday afternoon two-car crash sent both drivers to hospitals.

One driver had to be extricated using the Jaws of Life. That driver was sent to Albany Medical Center for treatment, according to information available at the scene.

The driver of the other vehicle was taken to Ellis Hospital, according to the available information.

The crash happened at around 3 p.m. at the corner of Nott and Dean streets in Niskayuna. One vehicle appeared to have hit the other in the side, trapping that driver until firefighters could free her.

Further information on the crash was unavailable early Sunday evening.

The same intersection was the scene of a three-vehicle crash last August.
