WILTON — Drivers from Jay and Wilton escaped injury Tuesday when their vehicles collided at the intersection of U.S. Route 2 and Cemetery Road near Earth Keepers Cannabis.
Wilton police officer Cody Henry said Joshua Dow, 35 of Jay was driving a Jeep Wrangler east on U.S. Route 2 and Marie LaPoint, 87 of Wilton was driving a Honda and exiting Cemetery Road when the vehicles collided.
Both were wearing seat belts, he said, and were not injured. Their vehicles were heavily damaged.
The crash is under investigation, and alcohol was not a factor, he said.

Two MaineHealth EMS ambulances also responded to the 12:33 p.m. accident.
