Two parties with minor injuries were transported for evaluation to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco. Additional members arrived on the scene with Engine 109, and Utility 140 to help control traffic, and clear the roadway. Leaking fluids from the sedan were contained, while the battery was disconnected and fluids contained from the heavily damaged SUV.
