Officials say two people have been arrested following a minor accident on the Sagtikos State Parkway that lead to an armed robbery.
State police say three vehicles were involved in a minor collision on Oct. 7 around 11:30 p.m. on the southbound side of the parkway near Exit 3.
Police say two drivers got out of their cars to exchange information and call police.

That's when police say both the driver, 22-year-old Brittany Larrea, of Selden, and her underage passenger, got out of the third vehicle and pulled a gun on the other drivers involved in the crash.
The passenger of that car demanded money and fired the gun in the ground.
The pair stole several wallets with cash and credit cards inside and a pair of sneakers.
When police tracked down the suspects, some of those wallets and sneakers were recovered.
Larrea is facing robbery and criminal possession of stolen property charges.
The minor is facing the same charges - plus criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and reckless endangerment.
