LISBON — A 22-year-old local man, Seth Card of Bowdoinham Road, lost control of the car he was driving on Route 196 in Lisbon Falls on Saturday afternoon, striking and snapping a utility pole in front of the Big Apple, police said.

After striking the pole, the car rolled over and came to a rest on its roof in the middle of the road.

Card and an unidentified female passenger were taken to a Lewiston hospital with apparent minor injuries, Sgt. Scott Stewart said. Neither speed nor alcohol was involved, he said.

He said Card was driving west when he drifted off to the right and “rolled up onto the pole, snapping it,” before rolling over onto its roof.

Sgt. Stewart said Card is a habitual offender and had taken the car without the owner’s permission. Charges are pending, Stewart said.

The Lisbon Falls section of town was without power for more than two hours while crews from Central Maine Power Co. replaced the pole.

The 2001 Pontiac, owned by Bettina Bellefleur of Topsham, was demolished in the 2:15 p.m. crash.
