JAY — Police said a local couple were injured Wednesday afternoon when their car and a van hauling a utility trailer collided at Bean’s Corner at routes 133 and 156.
Sylvia Richards, 73, of Jay was driving south on Route 133 toward Livermore Falls when a van driven by Marc Parent, 56, of Becancour, Quebec, on Route 156 failed to stop at the stop sign, Jay police officer Russell Adams said Thursday. Parent was coming from Chesterville toward Wilton.

The accident remains under investigation.
