Head-On Collision Ties Up Traffic On Route 111

A Ford Expedition and Cadillac sedan were involved in a head-on collision on Route 111, between Big Y and the Goodwill store, at 9:45 Sunday night. Monroe Fire Department Spokesman Kevin Catalano said the Cadillac was spun around from the impact and landed off the road and into a utility pole, adding it had been raining lightly at the time of the crash.

Catalano said both drivers were treated at the scene by Monroe EMS personnel and transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Neither had passengers, he added.

"One man had facial injuries and back and leg pain," Catalano said. "The other man had possible back and neck injuries."

Police officers closed Route 111 to traffic for about an hour — between Route 110 and Cross Hill Road, according to Catalano.
