A two-vehicle collision on Route 8 restricted traffic along the highway this morning.

Butler State Trooper Shaun Milkovich said both drivers received minor injuries, which was reported in a 6:17 a.m. 911 call.

The women, whose names were unavailable, were taken by Butler Ambulance to Butler Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Milkovich said the accident occurred when the northbound Ford Escape ran a red light at North Glenwood Way, hitting a Ford Taurus turning left into the southbound lanes of Route 8.

The Escape's front end was extensive damaged from the impact, which left it stopped in the left southbound lane. The Taurus spun into the right northbound lane.

Traffic in both directions was alternately stopped or restricted to one lane.

Both northbound lanes were open at 6:59 a.m. The southbound lanes were unrestricted at 7:05 a.m.
