OXFORD – Five people landed in the hospital after two SUV’s hit head-on Saturday. New York State Troopers, along with the Oxford and Norwich Fire Departments, responded to the collision that happened about a quarter mile south of the Half Way Bridge on Rt. 12 Saturday morning.

Five people were taken to the hospital after the two SUV’s crashed, for “what appeared to be non-serious injuries,” said police. The accident happened just before 9 a.m. during some light snow flurries. Police said the weather conditions and unsafe speeds certainly played a role.
