TREMONT – Five teenagers were injured Monday afternoon in a single-car crash on Route 102.
According to Deputy Jeff McFarland of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, the five teens were traveling on Route 102 in a Ford Explorer near the intersection of the Clark Point Road at a little before 5 p.m. Monday.
“They came into a left-hand curve and got off onto the shoulder,” McFarland said. “They overcorrected and skidded and then went off the right-hand side of the road, rolled over and struck a telephone pole and came to rest upside down.”
Speed was a factor in the accident, he said.
It did not appear that any of the young people were wearing seat belts, McFarland said. One person, and possibly two, were thrown from the vehicle.
All five were injured in the accident and all were taken by ambulance to a hospital, some to Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth and some to Mount Desert Island Hospital in Bar Harbor.
McFarland did not release the names of any of those involved in the accident and no report was available on the extent of their injuries or their conditions. Although some of the injuries were serious, he said, none appeared to be life-threatening.
The accident remains under investigation.
