STRONG — A woman and child were taken to a hospital Monday following a head-on crash at Norton Hill and South Strong roads, Sheriff Scott Nichols Sr. wrote in an email.
A 2013 Ford Focus driven by Alexis Robbins, 20, of Phillips was heading east approaching the South Strong Road intersection when a 2015 GMC driven by Kaitlyn Hopper, 18, of Vassalboro was turning right from South Strong Road, also headed east onto Norton Hill Road.
