Accidents tie up traffic; no reported injuries
Two major accidents in the Augusta area didn't seriously injure anyone and have been cleared, police said.
The first was a two-car crash before school started on Eastern Avenue and Cony Street. Dispatchers said the two cars, a sedan and a pickup truck, collided, resulting in the sedan becoming crunched like an accordion.
Witnesses believe both drivers were teenagers. Police said neither victim was injured.
Then, a rollover accident happened on Interstate 95 near Exit 112 later in the morning. That crash shut down passing lanes going both north and south for more than 30 minutes.
The driver, who apparently became distracted or fell asleep at the wheel, was not seriously injured.
Both accidents were cleared, and traffic for the drive home should be back to normal.
