Two separate wrecks today within minutes of each other sent five people to area hospitals, law enforcement officials said.

About 3:40 p.m., a 61-year-old woman and a female child had to be extricated from a Cadillac that apparently was forced into a ditch after a Ford Taurus sideswiped it near Siebenthaler Avenue and Philadelphia Drive, Montgomery County sheriff’s Sgt. Salvatore Bartolotta said.

There were no serious injuries, but the two females suffered minor injuries and were taken to area hospitals, he said.

The male driver of the Taurus was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, his condition not immediately known.

Deputies and rescue units were dispatched to the accident in Harrison Twp., which was described by emergency dispatchers as an entrapment, because the driver’s door to the Cadillac wouldn’t open, Bartolotta said.

The cause of the accident is under investigation, he said.

About 3:45 p.m. in Dayton, rescue workers at Patterson and Shroyer Roads extricated two people from the wreckage of a Mustang that was involved in a crash with a dump truck.

The person trapped in the Mustang was in the driver’s seat; Her passenger was removed earlier and taken to a hospital.

The driver of the truck, which was carrying a load of tree branches, appeared not to have been injured and was talking with police.

Police were dispatched to the location on a report of an accident with two people trapped.

That accident also is under investigation, police said.
