No charges or citations were issued as of 1:20 p.m. Authorities didn't share the latest conditions of the passenger in the Cadillac or the driver of the Toyota.
Part of Turnpike Street, which is also Route 139, remained closed Wednesday afternoon due to wires on the road downed by a vehicle in the crash hitting a telephone pole, authorities said.
Police had said that traffic on Route 139 was being detoured down Maple Street to Page Street.
