The elderly woman driving the SUV was taken to the hospital and the driver of the F-150 was walking on his own power. Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company Chief Frank Farry said none of the injuries were serious.

A LevittownNow.com reporter observed pine branches appearing to obstruct the view of the stop sign that the F-150 drove through.
