A two-vehicle accident with rescue at Bethlehem Pike and Schoolhouse Road near the area of Fluid Energy Processing and Equipment Co., VMD Machine Co. and Sundae School sent at least one person to an area hospital Tuesday afternoon and disrupted traffic between E Central Avenue and East Reliance Road.

The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on the 4300 block of Bethlehem Pike in Hiltown Township and involved a tan Toyota Camry, which occupants needed rescue by emergency responders, and a silver Dodge minivan. The driver side and rear driver side doors were removed from the Toyota to rescue those trapped, per reports from the scene.
