Monday evening, a white car swerved off a curve in Mile Hill Road, hit an embankment and flipped over onto its roof, trapping its 3 passengers inside. The driver managed to crawl out of the car on his own while rescuers spent 45 minuts freeing the 2 passengers trapped inside. All victims were taken to Memorial Hospital in Belmont. One was reported in stable condition; the other was airlifted to Mass. General Hospital in Boston.
At approximately 9p.m. Monday evening, Jamie Peterson, 17, was driving his white Mustang north along Mile Hill Road accompanied by 2 unidentified young female passengers, when he swerved off the road, hitting an embankment and flipping his car onto its roof.
Tom Carroll, Jr., 17, was driving his pick-up truck behind the alleged vehicle on Mile Hill Road at the time of the accident. He reported to police seeing the car speed ahead around a curve and the next time he saw the car it was on its roof, "I thought the worst. They were flying. Its hard to see kids your age in something like this. You realize when you see it what could happen, especially on this road." Caroll was the first on the scene and reported to police seeing at least 3 empty Budweiser beer cans on the ground.
Another witness to the accident, Josie M. Crandall, resident at 27 Mile Hill Road across from the fairgrounds, told police that she looked out her window at the time of the accident and saw the crash happen. She called the police.
When rescuers arrived on the scene, Peterson had managed to crawl out from under the overturned vehicle. In an operation that took 45 minutes, they used the jaws of life to free the 2 passengers remaining in the crushed car.
