Williamstown – A town resident was taken to the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield after the vehicle she was driving crossed traffic lanes and struck an oncoming vehicle.
The Oct. 5 crash occurred on Cold Spring Road near the Le Jardin restaurant at about 11:54 a.m., police said.
According to police, Nancy K. Agostini, 51, of Grandview Drive, was driving a 1999 Dodge Caravan northbound along Route 7 when the vehicle was struck by a second Dodge Caravan that was in the southbound lane and was driven by 57-year-old Margaret Daniels, of Simonds Road.
Daniels was taken to the hospital by the Village Ambulance Service. No further information about her condition was available.
Agostini was not transported to a hospital from the scene, police said.
Witnesses reported that the Caravan being driven by Daniels veered to the right of the roadway and onto a grassy area, then swerved back out onto the road, crossed the center lane marking line, struck a guardrail, and then collided with Agostini’s vehicle, police said.
Both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage and were towed from the scene, police said.
Town police Sgt. Paul Thompson, of the police department’s Crash Investigation Unit, is investigating the crash. Whether charges will be filed will depend on the results of the investigation.
