Several Injuries in Two Tioga County Crashes

Two Tioga County car crashes snarled traffic on Friday afternoon. The first accident occurred on Route 17 eastbound. All traffic was diverted to Route 434 between Owego and Apalachin, as a result of the crash. There were several injuries, but the extent of those injuries was not reported.
