Lincoln County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Collamore responded to two motor vehicle accidents on Route 27 on Monday, November 14 and reported that one person was seriously injured in one of the accidents.

In the second and more serious accident, which occurred at approximately 1:30 p.m. near Dave's AG in Boothbay, a 1996 Land Rover, operated by Joan Rittall of Boothbay, collided with a 1994 Ford Aspire, driven by Roberta Hayden of Warren.

Collamore said Rittall was proceeding north on Route 27 and slowed to turn left into Dave's AG and made an "unsafe turn" into the path of the Hayden vehicle, which was traveling south on Route 27.

Hayden "suffered broken bones" in the accident, said Collamore and, after being brought to St. Andrews Hospital, was eventually transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland. A second occupant in the Hayden vehicle, a 10-month-old boy who was in a car seat, was not hurt, though he was brought to the hospital to be checked out but was later released.

Rittall was brought to St. Andrews Hospital and was eventually brought to Miles Memorial for treatment and was released.

The Aspire was totaled in the accident and the Land Rover sustained approximately $3,000 to $4,000 in damages.

The Boothbay Fire Department and three Boothbay Region Ambulance Service ambulance crews responded to the accident.
