BRAINTREE, Mass. — Authorities are investigating a serious car crash on Friday afternoon that sent several people to the hospital.

Officers responding to the area of Quincy Avenue and Gordon Road around 12:30 p.m. for a motor vehicle crash with multiple injuries found a 2003 Toyota Corolla and a Mercedes SUV were involved in a collision, according to Braintree Police.

The front seat passenger of the Toyota was transported to a hospital with serious injuries.
