Two women were injured and cars were towed from the scene after a T-bone crash on Peterborough Street in Jaffrey on Thursday afternoon.
Police responded at 12:05 p.m. to a report of a two-car crash with injuries, according to Police Chief Chris LaBrecque.
Deborah Sawyer, 75, of Rindge, was traveling north on Peterborough Street in a Saab 9-3. At the same time, Patricia Neff, 84, of Jaffrey, was pulling out of the M&T Bank parking lot and attempting to turn left onto Peterborough Street, LaBrecque said. The two cars collided, causing disabling damage to both vehicles.
The Saab stopped in its lane after the collision, while Neff’s grey BMW spun around and came to a rolling stop in the driveway across the street, LaBrecque said. Airbags deployed in both vehicles.
Good Samaritans who witnessed the crash stopped to assist both drivers.
Jaffrey-Rindge Memorial Ambulance evaluated both women. Neff reported wrist pain and Sawyer reported torso pain, LaBrecque said, but both declined transport to the hospital by ambulance.
Peterborough Street was reduced to a single lane of traffic for about 30 minutes while the accident was cleared.
