A five-car crash this afternoon on Route 6 in the Cape Cod town of Harwich has sent five people to the hospital, but none of them have life-threatening injuries, state police said this afternoon.

The accident happened at about 2:45 p.m. in the westbound lanes, said Trooper Eric Benson, a state police spokesman. The busy artery was closed in both directions, with the eastbound lanes reopening at about 3:30 and the westbound lanes reopening at 3:50 p.m.

The accident is under investigation, Benson said.
