OXFORD – Three people were hurt Friday night when a truck stopped on Route 121 in Welchville village was rear-ended.

James Lamb, 56, of Oxford complained of pain to his head and neck and was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland, Oxford Patrolman Alan Coffin said. He was still being evaluated in the emergency department at 11:15 p.m. Friday, nursing supervisor Bonnie Smith said.

Coffin said Lamb was a passenger in a pickup driven by Mark Danico, 46, of Waterford, who reportedly refused treatment at the scene.

Danico had stopped on Route 121 to turn left into Dr. Rob’s Garage when his Chevrolet truck was struck by another Chevrolet pickup driven by a 17-year-old girl, Coffin said. She and her 15-year-old passenger suffered facial cuts and were taken to St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, he said.

Their names and addresses were not released due to their ages and the pending investigation, he said, and therefore their conditions could not be obtained from the hospital.

The truck they were in is owned by Christopher McMahon of Poland, the officer said.

The speed limit on that stretch of the highway is 50 miles per hour.

Route 121 was closed after the accident, which occurred around 4:50 p.m.

Coffin was assisted by fellow Oxford Patrolmen Michael Ward and James Richardson, Oxford Rescue, Oxford Fire Department and a Mechanic Falls police officer.
