LEBANON - The most dangerous intersection in Lebanon was the scene of a head-on collision on Friday.
The crash occurred around 11:20 a.m. at the corner of Center Road and Route 202.
Two of the three motorists involved were transported to area hospital, but the seriousness of their injuries was unknown, however, Lebanon Fire and EMS did report all were said to have been wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
Route 202, also known Carl Broggi Highway, was reduced to single lane traffic for about an hour.
The intersection, which is marked by blinking lights on both sides intended to alert drivers crossing the busy highway, has been the scene of many crashes and near crashes.
The town in the past has sought input from the state on eliminating the intersection by extending the crossing to west of its present locale, however, the cost would be substantial.

State Police were not immediately available for comment on details of the crash.
