Two people are hospitalized after a crash involving a motorcycle and a car in Hubbard Township.

The accident happened along Route 7 north of Interstate 80 just after 8:30 a.m. Monday.

State Troopers say a driver stopped her car because someone was walking along the highway and the motorcycle rear-ended the car.

The motorcyclist was taken to a Youngstown hospital with serious injuries.  The driver of the car is in a Farrell hospital.  Her injuries are not as serious.

State Troopers shut down northbound traffic for about an hour while they investigated.
