A man and a woman are being treated at local hospitals for injuries they sustained in a two-vehicle accident on Route 6 in Mohegan Lake shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday, state police said.

The woman driver of a Subaru and the male driver of a Mercedes Benz were headed in opposite directions when they collided near Regina Avenue on Route 6, police said.
