GERMANTOWN -- Four people were hurt in a crash involving three vehicles in Germantown Thursday, July 12.

It happened shortly after 11 a.m.

Police said a semi headed southbound on Division was waiting at the stop sign to turn northbound onto Fond du lac Avenue/Highway 145, and a car with two people inside was stopped at the stop sign northbound on Division.

Four people were taken to hospitals from the scene -- the two in the SUV and the two in the car. Police said the two people in the car had to be extricated.

We're told the injuries suffered are not believed to be life-threatening.
