LEWISTON – A teenager injured when she became lodged beneath a car Thursday remained in serious condition Friday at a Portland hospital.

Kasha Dubois, 15, suffered a broken hip, burns from the car muffler and other injuries when she became pinned beneath the vehicle for approximately 15 minutes.

Dubois was taken to Central Maine Medical Center and later moved to Maine Medical Center. She underwent surgery at the Portland hospital and remained in serious condition there Friday night.

The crash was still being investigated Friday by Lewiston police, who took measurements of the crash site at Webster Street and East Avenue. How Dubois ended up underneath the car after she was knocked from her bicycle remained unclear.

Witnesses said it appeared Dubois pedaled her bike onto Webster Street while traffic had begun moving across East Avenue. The girl was struck by a Buick driven by 88-year-old Alma Caux, who was driving toward downtown on Webster Street.

Police said Dubois was conscious throughout the ordeal and that she spoke with officers who lay on the ground speaking to her while the rescue was under way.
