GILL — Two individuals were hospitalized Tuesday evening after a vehicle swerved off of Route 2 and crashed into a tree, according to Fire Chief Gene Beaubien.

Beaubien said a bystander pulled one of the two individuals from the vehicle. Orange Ambulance, the chief added, was able to transport one of the occupants to Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield “immediately” after the crash. He said Northfield EMS transported the other occupant shortly after.

While both parties were injured, Beaubien said one occupant was treated for “possibly life-threatening” injuries. It is unclear whether this individual was the vehicle’s passenger or driver.
