The injured victim had to be extricated from the vehicle.

A woman was injured Thursday evening when her minivan was struck by another vehicle near the intersection of West Ridge Pike and North Lewis Road in Limerick.

Emergency crews had to cut the driver's side door off the minivan to extricate the victim, said  Battalion Chief Jeff Detwiler.
