LIVERMORE — One juvenile is dead and three others injured after a single-vehicle crash Saturday morning on Norlands Road, according to an Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.
The four juveniles were traveling south on Norlands Road in Livermore just after 10 a.m. when the 16-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, which hit a utility pole and rolled over.
One of the passengers, 16, died at the scene, and the three others were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the post said.
The juveniles’ names will not be released until families have been properly notified.
The post identified the four as students from the Regional School Unit 73 district which includes Spruce Mountain high, middle, elementary and primary schools.
The school district has been notified so preparations for support systems can be made available to students when they return to school on Monday.
The crash is currently being reconstructed by the sheriff’s office and a forensic mapper with the Maine Warden Service assisted in mapping the scene. Norlands Road was closed for several hours while the crash was being investigated.
The crash remains under investigation.
