Two Pennsylvania men were riding in the Cadillac, while the Quincy woman was driving the Toyota, officials said. All three people involved were transported to Boston Medical Center.

The Quincy woman regained consciousness later Wednesday and has communicated with health care workers. She was heading home from an overnight shift at a local hotel when the crash occurred, police said. She was also not publicly identified.

No charges have been filed, but an investigation remains ongoing involving Stoughton police and State Police troopers.

Both cars were towed to a secure facility. One of the vehicles damaged a telephone pole, which brought wires down into the road. A portion of Turnpike Street remained closed as of 1 p.m. Wednesday.
