Chaos erupted in Framingham, Massachusetts, Wednesday night when a car slammed into a telephone pole, critically injuring two. The violent collision occurred on Edgell Road near Brook Street and was reported around 7:30 p.m., NBC Boston detailed.

Authorities described the aftermath as a disaster scene with debris from the smashed vehicle littering the street. A man, suffering from the severe injuries, was airlifted to a hospital in Boston, while a woman, equally battered by the crash, was taken by ambulance, according to Boston 25 News. Both individuals are now said to be in critical but stable condition.

The crash's impact was so shocking that it sliced the car in half, a sight that left witness Bianca Divincenzo remarking, "I'm in shock, to see a car split in half," she told NBC10 Boston. Police cordoned off Edgell Road between Central Street and Frost Street into the early hours of Thursday as they managed the scene.

The Framingham Police have yet to disclose the identities or ages of the crash victims, but confirmed that an investigation into the cause of the crash is underway, as reported by The Boston Globe. Road closures that had been necessitated by the accident and subsequent rescue efforts were lifted just prior to 5 a.m. Thursday, restoring the flow of morning traffic.
