Three people were hospitalized in a crash on North Porter Road tonight.

“Two individuals were transported to Valley hospitals with serious injuries, and a third individual was transported as a precaution,” public safety spokesperson Monica Williams said.

Fire crews were seen cutting the doors off the SUV and extracting a person from the passenger seat. Airbags were deployed.

Both vehicles sustained significant damage to their front ends. Fire crews were seen ripping the hoods of both vehicles open.
