One driver was found with a compound leg fracture that required an officer to apply a tourniquet, police said. That person and another adult who suffered serious injuries were brought to a trauma center off Cape Cod, while a juvenile who was in one of the vehicles was flown to Boston Children's Hospital.

Authorities say one driver crossed the median and sideswiped one vehicle, then hit another head-on. That driver, whose name was not released, will be summonsed to court after being cited for negligent operation and a marked lanes violation.

Another driver involved in the crash was also cited for driving with a suspended license. That person will also be summonsed to court.

Police said the Falmouth Department of Public Works helped clean up debris and fluid so the road could reopen.
