FARMINGTON – A Franklin County deputy charged a Carrabassett Valley teenager with several offenses Sunday including aggravated driving to endanger in connection with an accident Friday.
Besides the driving to endanger, Cpl. Nathan Bean charged Justin Anthony, 19, with reckless conduct with a motor vehicle, following too closely, not wearing a seat belt, possession of scheduled Y drug, possession of a usable amount of marijuana and transportation of alcohol by a minor, Bean said Monday.
The deputy was still awaiting analysis of a blood test to determine if more charges would be forthcoming, he said.
Anthony was driving a pickup truck Friday morning at a “high rate of speed” on Routes 2 and 27 heading toward New Sharon when he lost control of the truck just over the Farmington line and it went into a ditch, hit some trees and rolled over several times, Bean said Friday.
Both Anthony and his passenger, Christopher Clary, 18, of Scarborough were flown by a medical helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Anthony had a puncture wound to the abdomen and was treated and released while Clary had a broken leg. He was transferred from the Lewiston hospital to Maine Medical Center in Portland where he was listed in satisfactory condition Monday, a spokesperson said.
Anthony is scheduled to appear May 26 in 12th District Court in Farmington on the charges.
