A tan Toyota Camry and a white Ford Ranger collided in the roadway, leading the smaller compact heavily damaged on its front portions and some damage on the pickup truck.
A woman driving the Toyota had to be removed from the vehicle by paramedics and firefighters before leaving the scene on a stretcher in an ambulance.
There was no immediate word on her condition.
The driver of the pickup truck was reportedly not seriously injured in the crash.
