A T-bone crash at the intersection of routes 58 and 25 and Doctors Path sent five people to the hospital this afternoon with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash, which occurred at approximately 3:15 p.m., closed the road to westbound traffic.

A Toyota Highlander SUV collided with the passenger side of a Ford Fusion sedan. Police at the scene were investigating the circumstances of the crash and were not able to say with certainty the direction of travel of either vehicle. 

The SUV carried two adults and two children, according to police. The driver of the sedan had no passengers in his vehicle, police said.
