A crash Sunday afternoon on Route 531 sent ten people to the hospital.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says an eastbound vehicle on 531 lost control and went into the oncoming lane, ending up in the median between the two sides of the highway.
Numerous cars and trucks began stopping on the side of the road to avoid the errant vehicle, and that triggered another accident in the eastbound lanes. All ten people who were hurt suffered relatively minor injuries. Drugs and alcohol were not to blame.
