People involved have been taken to area hospitals for further evaluation

Three people suffered minor injuries and were transported to Paoli and Phoenixville hospitals for further evaluation and possible treatment following a two-vehicle crash in Skippack, Wednesday evening, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

According to troopers at the scene, a Collegeville woman driving a Toyota Sienna out of a driveway in the 3800 block of Mill Road, Skippack, around 5:15 p.m., was attempting to turn left when an oncoming vehicle struck hers. The impact pushed the Toyota to its side, and the woman and her female passenger were trapped in the vehicle. The striking vehicle, a Nissan driven by a Collegeville man, suffered heavy front-end damage.

It took about 15 minutes to free the trapped woman and girl, troopers said.
