A one-car rollover accident temporarily snarled traffic on Rt. 32, just north of the Truth Baptist Church in Jefferson, around 4 p.m. Aug. 4. According to LCN reporter Paula Roberts at the scene, the vehicle was apparently coming down a hill, heading north, when the operator lost control and went off the opposite side of the road.
According to Roberts, eyewitnesses observed two young men getting out of the vehicle and walking around. They were attended to by EMT’s at the scene, Roberts said.
The vehicle appeared to be demolished but the front seat area where passengers would have been seated appeared to be intact, Roberts said.
A Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy and a Maine State Police Trooper responded to the scene. Traffic was temporarily limited to one lane only until the scene was cleared.
