Roxbury police responded to the two-car crash Howard Boulevard at Ledgewood Plaza around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday, Roxbury Police spokesperson Jennifer Dillard said.

It appeared that the crash occurred when one vehicle pulled out of the plaza and onto Howard Boulevard.

The Stanhope man was a passenger in a 2015 Ford Fiesta driven by a 28-year-old Flanders man, and an 18-year-old man from Sparta was driving a 2004 Ford F350, Dillard said.

All three victims were taken to an area hospital, according to Dillard.

The incident occurred around the same time a hydrant burst across town in another motor vehicle crash.

An investigation is ongoing.
