The roof was cut on a gray Nissan Rogue, which sustained heavy front-end and side damage, per reports from the scene. A black Toyota Yaris, whose driver was uninjured, sustained heavy front-end damage as well in the crash that occurred shortly before 12:45 p.m.
Rich HIll Road was closed at the intersection.
