A head-on crash sent five women to hospitals Sunday evening and completely shut down state Route 302.

Another 19-year-old in the arrested driver’s car is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, Bova said. A 20-year-old woman in the same car received minor injuries.
The driver of the other car, a pregnant 23-year-old, and her mother, 43, both received minor injuries. The younger woman, who is 32 weeks pregnant, remains hospitalized under observation Sunday night.
Her mother was treated and released.
