Identities of both vehicles' occupants, along with extent of their injuries, were not available.

The Ford suffered extensive front-end damage and was leaking fluid; the Chrysler had damage to the driver's side. Airbags deployed in both vehicles, which were towed from the scene.

The crash remains under investigation and no charges are currently pending.

North Adams police, fire and ambulance, as well as Adams police and ambulance, and the Massachusetts State Police responded to the scene.
