NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE (9/15/2016) Two people were taken to a hospital this morning after their vehicles crashed, with one overturning, on Route 141 near New Castle, according to reports from the scene.

The collision happened about 6:45 a.m. at Washington Avenue, just north of the U.S. 13 intersection.

A 17-year-old girl driving a white SUV and a 19-year-old man in a black sedan that ended up on its roof were both taken to Christiana Hospital in Stanton with injuries described as not life-threatening.

The girl was treated at the scene for a possible head injury and she was in serious but stable condition, said Sgt. Abigail E. Haas of New Castle County paramedics.
