HOLYOKE – Two women were treated at area hospitals and released Thursday morning following a two-vehicle crash at Race and Cabot streets.

Police Lt. Michael Higgins said the crash occurred shortly after 8:30 a.m. when 29-year-old Jazmine Ortiz, southbound on Race Street, ran a stop sign at Cabot and crashed into a vehicle being driven on that street by Rosemary Devoid, 43. Ortiz told police that she had not seen the stop sign, he said.

Ortiz was treated at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield and released, a spokeswoman said. Devoid was treated at Holyoke Medical Center and released, a spokesman said.

Ortiz, whose vehicle flipped onto its passenger side, was cited for running a stop sign, Higgins said. Both women live in Holyoke.
