But there were no reported injuries in the incident, which slowed traffic as rescue personnel tended to the scene.
The crash was reported at 7:50 p.m. and occurred a couple of hundred feet west of Crane Hill Road, according to a Wilbraham emergency dispatch official, who said an ambulance was sent to the scene.
However, no one was taken to the hospital, despite the serious nature of the crash.
"Nobody was transported," Wilbraham Fire Capt. Peter Nothe said early Sunday.
The incident looked worse than it actually was, according to Nothe.
The impact of the collision caused one car to land on its roof near the shoulder of the road, while another with a chewed up front end remained in the roadway.
It was not immediately clear which direction the vehicles were traveling, but one car was facing east immediately after the crash.
