Four members of a family were hurt Saturday after a driver allegedly veered onto a sidewalk during Lincoln’s Loonfest and struck them, according to a story in the BDN.
Police said the crash happened around 3:20 p.m. at the intersection of Main Street and West Broadway. A 24-year-old woman was trapped beneath the vehicle and flown to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center with serious injuries. A 29-year-old man, a 5-year-old child and a 3-month-old infant were also treated for injuries that are not considered life-threatening.
Investigators say 57-year-old Carl Hartley of Mattawamkeag drove through the intersection and onto the sidewalk before hitting the family. Officers arrested Hartley after reporting signs of impairment. Police also say suspected methamphetamine was found in his vehicle.
Hartley is charged with aggravated operating under the influence and unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs. He is being held at the Penobscot County Jail while the investigation continues.
