SHAPLEIGH (AP) – A Massachusetts man faces a charge of drunken boating following a weekend crash in Shapleigh that sent a passenger to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The Maine Warden Service said 23-year-old Raymond Fraser III of Danvers, Mass., was arrested early Sunday morning on Square Pond. Officials said Fraser drove a 23-foot boat that flew out of the pond and came to rest eight feet off the ground in trees on an island.

Fraser is to appear in court this summer on a charge of operation of a watercraft while under the influence.

Nineteen-year-old Lindsay Fallon of Westford, Mass., remained in Maine Medical Center, where her condition has stabilized.

Two other passengers, 26-year-old Patrick McDonough of North Reading, Mass., and his 18-year-old sister Courtney McDonough suffered minor injuries.
