Orvilla Road is closed between Koffel Road and the railroad crossing.
According to reports on scene, a dark-colored Toyota Camry and a tan Toyota Corolla collided at the intersection at 10:27 p.m. The driver of the Camry had to be rescued in the vehicle and placed on a stretcher with a neck brace by VMSC.
The driver of the Corolla told a reporter at the scene that he was turning left onto Schwab Road, when the Camry collided with the Corolla mid-turn.
