MANCHESTER — Minor injuries were reported after a guardrail impaled a vehicle that crashed into it on Interstate 384 on Monday afternoon.

Officials from Manchester Fire Rescue EMS said a single vehicle accident caused the guardrail to separate and then impale a black sedan.

The guardrail traveled through the center of the passenger compartment of the car, extending roughly 20 feet beyond it, missing all of the occupants inside the vehicle.

Firefighters said only minor injuries were reported and the occupants were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
