WORTH, Ill. (STMW) -- Two vehicles collided Friday afternoon in south suburban Worth, sending two people to a hospital.

The wreck occurred about noon at the intersection of 111th Street and Ridgeland Avenue, according to Chicago Ridge Fire Deputy Chief Mark Hoffmeister, who described it as a "fender-bender.''

Two adults inside the vehicles were taken to Palos Community Hospital with minor injuries, Hoffmeister said.
