LIVERMORE – Two people were injured, one seriously, when the minivan they were riding in on Route 4 attempted to take a left turn into a variety store’s lot and collided with a car heading north, police said.
Allicea Kelley, 30, of Kingfield, was heading south on Route 4 and turning left into Long Green’s Variety near the junction of Route 108 and didn’t see a car driven by Barbara Robertson, 21, of Livermore, state police Trooper Scott Gosselin said Wednesday.
Robertson’s car collided with the center of the passenger side of the van, he said.
Kelley’s passenger, Frank Howard, 41, of Freeman Township, received “significant injuries,” Gosselin said.
Howard was removed from the van by firefighters from Livermore and Livermore Falls and flown to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Gosselin said.
Howard was listed in fair condition Wednesday night, a nursing supervisor said.
Kelley was taken by NorthStar Emergency Medical Services to the same hospital and was listed in stable condition Wednesday night, the nursing supervisor said.
Robertson and her passenger, an 8-month-old boy, were also taken by ambulance to the Lewiston hospital so Robertson could have a blood test done and the baby could be checked, Gosselin said. Both drivers needed to have a blood test done, which is normal procedure when there is a serious accident with injuries, he said. Robertson was not listed at the hospital Wednesday night, the nursing supervisor said.
Neither Robertson nor the child appeared to be injured, the trooper said.
Kelley was the only one not wearing a seat belt, he said.
A lot of people stopped to help the injured, Gosselin said.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department also helped by responding to calls in the area for state police, the trooper said.
