A Lowell Street resident, Hillary Anderson-Oei, 35, said she was in her home when she heard one of the vehicles crash into the propane tank. She said it made a “significant noise.” It was unclear how exactly the crash occurred, she said.
At around 12:10pm, two vehicles struck each other and both went off of the road. The smaller vehicle crashed into a utility pole, while the larger vehicle crashed into propane tanks and then into a house. Two people from each vehicle were injured, though injuries were mostly minor. The crash into the propane tanks caused leakage and five nearby homes had to be evacuated.
