Two people were injured Monday evening in a crash along Route 309 in Rush township.

The incident occurred just after 6 p.m. when the driver of a sport utility vehicle traveling north on Route 309 lost control, swerving to the right entering the lot of Two Kings Pizza and colliding with a parked car. The injured were treated at the scene by members of the Tamaqua ambulance and Lehighton paramedics before being transported to a nearby trauma center. Hometown firefighters assisted at the scene, reducing the northbound lanes to one lane.
