WESTPORT — One driver was extricated and two hospitalized after a two-car crash at the intersection of Saugatuck and Riverside avenues Tuesday morning.

Two ambulances were dispatched to the scene by Westport Volunteer Emergency Medical Service, which transported two people to a hospital for what were described as “non-life-threatening” injuries, according to the report.
