NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A collision between two vehicles shut down a section of Church Street on Wednesday afternoon, followed shortly afterward by a three-car accident near Specialty Minerals in Adams.
The North Adams crash occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. when a GMC Denali pickup apparently collided with a Subaru Crosstrek attempting to exit from south driveway at Southview Cemetery.
The truck incurred extensive front end damage and the Crosstrek damage on the front driver's side. Scanner reports initially referred to someone having a broken arm but no one was taken to the hospital.
Church Street was closed between Drury High School's entrance and the skating rink for nearly an hour until tow trucks could take the vehicles away. Drivers either turned around or cut through Southview Cemetery and the skating rink parking lot.
Traffic was also disrupted by the accident on the railroad tracks in Adams. No one was apparently injured in that collision either.

North Adams School Committee OKs Search Panel, Ad for Superintendent
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Committee on Tuesday approved a superintendent search committee and a brochure advertisement for the post.
Superintendent Barbara Malkas will retire at the end of the fiscal year after nine years in the post.
The committee had agreed last month to have two of its members on the search panel in addition to Mayor Jennifer Macksey, who will be chair.
But members held off on deciding who will represent them when it became apparent more than two were interested.
On Tuesday, Macksey pulled the names of David Sookey and Cody Chamberlain out of a bag. They had both shown strong interest last month.
"We had a lively discussion at the next last meeting, I asked those who were interested to send me an email," said Macksey. "I received three responses, one for Mr. Sookey, Mr. Chamberlain and Ms. [Tara] Jacobs.
"To be fair, I don't want to choose one of my colleagues over the other, so I have this black bag with every one those three recipients names in it."
