Two drivers were airlifted for treatment of injuries early Tuesday morning, following a two-vehicle crash with heavy entrapment on Bethlehem Pike in Hatfield Township.
According to the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety, the crash occurred along the 400 block of Bethlehem Pike at 1:13 a.m. on July 13.
