A Newcastle teenager was taken to Miles by ambulance after a single-vehicle accident on River Road in Newcastle the morning of Monday, Sept. 19.
The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, Jacob Robison, 19, was taken to LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus in Damariscotta, then later transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland, according to a LincolnHealth spokesperson.
