GOSHEN, MA – Goshen firefighters, police and Highland Ambulance were called to a report of a head-on collision on Route 9 at 1049 hours Wednesday morning. The crash happened during the height of the snowstorm when a car in front of the white Toyota slowed while traveling westbound down Lithia hill. The white Toyota applied its brakes to do the same which caused it to lose control and travel into the eastbound lane where it collided with oncoming traffic.
The force of the crash was strong enough to deploy the air bags in both vehicles. The occupants of the white Toyota were treated by a crew from Highland Ambulance and refused transportation to a local hospital. The occupants of the other vehicle were not injured.
The snow-covered roadway was closed down in both directions by local police for over an hour. This allowed responders time to assist the victims and for two tow trucks to remove the vehicles once they arrived on scene.
