Three Bangor Christian softball players were doing fine after they were involved in a head-on collision Thursday afternoon on Broadway, Bangor Christian athletic director Aaron Wilcox said Thursday night.

Gabby Eastman, Vanessa Layton and Danielle Miller were taken to a local hospital but did not suffer serious injuries. The condition of Judith Livingston, 53, who was driving the other car involved in the accident, was unknown.

A police report had not been completed Thursday night.

It was the second serious car accident involving Bangor Christian student-athletes this year. In February, basketball player Dave Chrisos spent several days in intensive care after his car skidded on a patch of ice on Broadway near and Judson Avenue.

Wilcox said he believes the girls’ car, which may have been driven by Eastman, was making a left turn from the school on to Broadway about 2:30 p.m. The girls were driving to the school softball field on Kenduskeag Avenue for a game against Dexter.

According to the story Wilcox heard, while the girls were waiting to turn, a car traveling on Broadway stopped to let the girls by. Another car drove around the stopped car, hitting the girls’ car.

Bangor Christian coach Tom Obey said the girls were all wearing seatbelts and at least one airbag had deployed.

The most seriously injured of the three softball players may have been Eastman, who broke the pinky finger on her left (glove) hand and may need season-ending surgery, Obey said after the game.

It could be a huge loss for the defending Eastern Maine Class D champions.

Eastman, a junior third baseman and the cleanup hitter, had been batting around .600.

“Of course we’re just relieved that the girls are fine,” Obey said.

Miller, a junior center fielder, is the No. 3 hitter in the lineup and is batting at around .400. Layton is a junior and a backup infielder. It is unknown if Miller and Layton will play in the Patriots’ game at Lee Academy Friday.

Wilcox said some onlookers grew worried about the girls’ condition because the emergency workers used neck braces and other equipment.

“They were being very [cautious],” he said. “They wanted to be careful in case there were any spinal injuries.”

Wilcox said the school has inquired in the past about getting a traffic light in front, but was told by Bangor officials that because Bangor Christian has no students who walk to school, it could not get a traffic light.

There are signs near the building that alert drivers to the school’s presence, Wilcox added.
