"SCOTTSDALE, AZ (CBS5) -

Traffic is beginning to flow again through a Scottsdale intersection nearly six hours after a car crash took out power and caused a break in a natural gas main.

A speeding elderly motorist driving a Lincoln failed to negotiate a curve and hit a business at the intersection of 90th Street and Via Linda, striking an electrical transformer and the gas main that feeds a number of buildings in the area, according to Officer David Pubins of the Scottsdale Police Department.

The crash shut down the intersection of 90th Street and Via Linda and also created traffic headaches on the Loop 101.

Scottsdale traffic spokesman Bruce Dressel said power had been restored to the intersection's signal and the city traffic camera was operating again. He said northbound 90th Street and one of two westbound lanes of Via Linda remained blocked at 11 a.m.

The northbound off-ramp of Loop 101 at 90th Street and the southbound left lane to 90th Street from Loop 101 were still closed.

Dave Folio of the Scottsdale Fire Department said the driver was not hurt.

"READINGTON — A two-vehicle crash in which an SUV flipped over then righted itself resulted in a Neshanic woman, Carol Chamberlain, being taken to the hospital and her dog, a passenger in the SUV, to the veterinarian.
An emergency radio broadcast heard at 10:05 a.m. today, Oct. 16, indicated that the accident took place at the intersection of Summer Road and Old York Road in Readington, not far from the Wawa convenience store on Route 202. The crossroad, which is a four-way stop, has been the site of several recent accidents.

At the crash scene this morning, Carol Chamberlain's husband said his wife was driving her Mazda SUV with her dog, a Briard breed, in a traveling crate when the SUV collided with a 1991 Lincoln Town Car. The Town Car was driven by Oswaldo Montes of Maine, who did not seem to be injured when he talked to a reporter at the scene.
The SUV, police said, rolled over at least once and came to a stop upright.
Chamberlain was transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries, and her dog was taken to a veterinarian by her husband to be examined."
