PITTSFIELD, Mass. — One person was taken to Berkshire Medical Center following a multi-motor vehicle accident Saturday night at the Hubbard and Dalton avenues intersection. 

 

The crashes happened at 9:04 p.m. when a westbound Honda Accord on Dalton Avenue crossed the double yellow line, striking a Subaru sedan traveling east, causing it to spin out. 

 

An Audi sport utility vehicle collided with the Subaru, which was then rear-ended by a GMC Savana van. 

 

The operator of the Audi was taken to BMC with unknown injuries. The incident is still under investigation. 

 

The GMC Savana and Honda Accord were able to drive away from the scene and the Audi and the Subaru were towed away. 

 

The road was closed for about an hour.
