AUBURN — Police and fire crews were on scene of a two-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon on Center Street.

Auburn police Sgt. Nathan Westleigh said Zachary Barry, 21, of Lisbon Falls was traveling southbound on Center Street in his 2013 Hyundai around 1:30 p.m. when a 2011 Buick, driven by Churle Gowell, 50, of Litchfield, pulled out of a parking lot near Sam’s Italian Foods at 229 Center St.

The Buick entered the Hyundai’s path, causing the vehicles to crash, Westleigh said.

Gowell was transported to a hospital with minor injuries. Barry and his one passenger complained of pain, but were not transported.
