William Nolte, 69, Kristin Hartman, 42, injured, both transported to hospital, after a two-car collision at the intersection of State Route 72 and Spring Hill Lane in Cornwall.

A two-vehicle collision earlier Thursday in Lebanon County sent two people to the hospital and a dog to a veterinarian, according to Cornwall police.

The collision took place at 3:45 p.m. on Route 72 at the intersection with Spring Hill Lane when police said a 2003 BMW station wagon southbound on Route 72 made a left turn onto the Spring Hill Acres development, according to a news release.

The BMW turned into the path of a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe that was driving north on Route 72, which then struck the BMW.

The driver of the BMW, 69-year-old Cornwall resident William Nolte, had to be extracted from his vehicle and the driver of the Tahoe, 42-year-old Annville resident Kristin Hartman, was also injured, police said. Both were taken to Hershey Medical Center for treatment, according to a news release.

A dog that was a passenger in Nolte's vehicle also was injured, and initially ran away from the scene of the collision, police said. A passing motorist captured the dog, and it was taken to the Apple Creek Veterinary Hospital for treatment.

The collision also brought down a utility pole on the road, prompting an electrician to cut power to the downed wires until Met-Ed was able to respond, according to a news release.

The collision led to significant traffic delays in the area, and police were not releasing whether either of the drivers was being charged as of Thursday afternoon.
