No serious injuries were reported in the Feb. 20 mid-morning collision on the northbound highway at the light just past Waynechester Plaza, which sent four occupants in all to the hospital.

Firefighters said they used both battery-powered and hydraulic tools to free the patients as traffic kept stretching further in either direction.

Wayne police and members of the Memorial First Aid Squad assisted with patient care and support, the smoke eaters said.

Wayne police were investigating the cause of the crash.
