Borough crews are working to get the traffic signal at Nutt Road and Gay Street back up after a car collided with the support pole.

According to police, two cars, not one as was previously reported, were involved. As a result of the crash, a man and a woman were taken to the hospital. 

Both victims were in the black Mercury that collided with the traffic light support and the sign at Phoenixville Hospital. A woman in the second vehicle, which police said was a Mitsubishi Eclipse, was uninjured and she was able to drive the car from the crash scene. 

The man and woman in the black Mercury were able to walk to the ambulance following the accident, which caused the airbags to deploy. Police didn't know the extent of the injuries.

A bystander who said she witnessed the crash said the Mercury careened on to the sidewalk in front of the 7-Eleven before crashing into the traffic signal and sign. 

Nutt Road was closed following the accident. According to police, crews are hoping to have the traffic signal up and operational again within a few hours.

Police said the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
