The two occupants of the vehicle became trapped inside.  Speed and driver inexperience are both factors in this crash.  Both driver, 17, and passenger, 16, had to be extricated from the vehicle and were transported to Pen Bay Medical Center.

The operator sustained serious life threatening injuries as a result of the crash and was listed in critical condition.  The passenger suffered minor injuries.  The families of those involved were notified. The names are not being released due to both being juveniles.
