Details have been released about a three-vehicle crash on Route 2 in Hermon on Wednesday morning.

Where Is the Crash?

The Penobscot County Sheriff's Office says the crash happened in the area of Spruce Street and Hillcrest Drive. Deputies and members of the Hermon Fire Department were called to Route 2 for a reported crash with injuries involving three vehicles.
