Two drivers taken to R.I. Hospital after Providence crash

PROVIDENCE -- A two-car crash near The Providence Journal building this evening sent two female drivers to Rhode Island Hospital with injuries the police described as more than minor but not life-threatening.

The police would not identify the drivers, who were from Providence and Warwick.

A preliminary investigation indicates that a white sedan was traveling fast on Sabin Street, possibly attempting to pass the gold sedan on the left, said Sgt. Gary Venditto.

The gold sedan apparently attempted to make the left turn just west of the Journal building, a turn that loops around to Fountain Street, when the two cars collided. A male passenger in the gold sedan, which appeared smashed in on the driver's side, was not taken to a hospital, the police said. Both cars were towed.

The call came in to police at 5:15 p.m.
