ROCHESTER - A Rochester teen was arrested for drunken driving on Saturday night after the car he was driving with four juvenile passengers crashed on Flagg Road resulting in serious injuries to all occupants of the car.
Two of the passengers were injured so severely they were transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland by ambulance as gusty winds prevented any helicopter Medflights.
Police got the call around 11:10 p.m. and responded to the area near 134 Flagg Road where it was found that a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am driven by Noah Cambell, 16, of Rochester was traveling east on Flagg Road when it lost control and struck a tree.
Extrication tools were used during the rescue to remove the roof, police said today.
Campbell was charged with Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated.
Three were transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital with what were described as serious injuries.
Speed and alcohol are both believed to be factors in the crash. Police did not release Campbell's BAC.
Flagg Road was closed until 4 a.m. today as the Strafford County Accident Reconstruction Team investigated the crash.
Conditions of the victims were unavailable due to medical privacy laws.
The hometowns of the car's passengers were not released.
