Two people were injured in a two-vehicle crash on Route 37 at Church Road south of Salem early Thursday afternoon.

Preliminary information from State Police indicates a pickup truck was coming to a stop in traffic on Route 37.  For unknown reasons, another pickup struck the first truck in the rear.  The impact caused the truck that was struck to leave the right side of the roadway and strike a fence.

The two occupants of the truck that was hit were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the other vehicle told police he was not injured.

The Salem Fire Protection District was called to the scene for possible extrication.  They report only having to assist one of the two injured out of the truck so they could get medical care.

State Police are currently not releasing the names of those involved.

The crash was reported at 1:25 Thursday afternoon.
