NORWICH – Traffic along State Highway 12 slowed to a crawl Monday evening after several rear-end collisions.

Though no one was injured Chenango County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Messina said the four-vehicle accident caused traffic congestion for about 30 minutes, while many commuters in the Norwich area were heading home from work.

“Unfortunately it happened at a bad time of day with a lot of cars on the road,” said Messina. “One person stopped, then the person behind them, hit them, and then the next, and the next.”
