A second passenger in the car reported no injuries, while the pickup’s driver also indicated no injuries.

Earlier in the day, another two-vehicle collision caused traffic to stop in both directions along Route 65 for about 20 minutes. Police report no injuries from that collision, which occurred around 10:45 a.m.
