A vehicle collision at Oracle and Orange Grove north of Tucson on Feb. 7, 2017.

A two-vehicle crash caused one vehicle to catch on fire on Tucson's northwest side Tuesday.

A Northwest Fire District crew responded to the crash at the intersection of North Oracle and Orange Grove roads, officials said in a tweet shortly before 5 p.m.

One person needed help getting out of a vehicle after a fire started in the engine compartment, said fire Capt. Brian Keeley.

Two people were transported to the hospital — one with serious but not life-threatening injuries and the other with minor injuries, Keeley said.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers moved the vehicles from the intersection to allow traffic to flow through the area, said Keeley.

No further information was immediately available.
