PARADISE TWP. - Two people were hospitalized after suffering injuries in a three-car crash in Monroe County on Saturday night.
Nicolette Grisi, 21, Tobyhanna, who was driving a 2004 Santa Fe, and Vanessa Jerman, 41, Pocono Summit, driving a 2003 Ford Explorer, were transported to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg for treatment, state police at Swiftwater said.
