COLRAIN — A head-on collision on Greenfield Road on Sunday sent two people to nearby hospitals and caused the road to be closed for about two hours.
The incident was reported by a walk-in to the Colrain Fire Station at 12:17 p.m., and by multiple 911 calls, according to a post on the Colrain Firefighters’ Association’s Facebook page.
