Two injured in I-91 rollover

HATFIELD - Two New Hampshire women were taken to the hospital Thursday afternoon after their vehicle rolled over in a two-car accident on Interstate 91, police said.

According to state police Sgt. Sean Murphy, at 12:30 p.m., emergency personnel from Northampton and Hatfield responded to a report that an elderly woman was trapped inside an overturned 2010 Subaru Impreza between Exits 21 and 22 on I-91 south.

Murphy said members of the Northampton Fire Department freed Virginia Hancock, 80, and treated the driver of the vehicle, Kersten Laveroni, 18, both of Newbury, N.H., before taking them by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.

Although it is unknown what caused the crash, Murphy said another car, driven by Amanda Malone, 28, of Easthampton, was also involved in the accident.

Laveroni was treated and released and Hancock was still listed in fair condition Thursday night, a hospital spokeswoman said.
