As emergency responders helped extricate the woman from her car, another crash was reported at the intersection of Scott and North Main streets.

The parked pickup truck was then pushed into the path of a third car, creating another crash.
According to the statement, the 33-year-old driver was also carrying two passengers, aged 12 and 14, in the vehicle. The driver and passengers were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver was arrested for operating while impaired with a minor along with other traffic violations. Police said speed and impairment contributed to the crashes.
This incident is under investigation.
