LEVANT, Maine — Part of Stetson Road in Levant was shut down Wednesday night due to a serious crash, according to a social media post from the Levant fire department.
A driver was traveling at a high rate of speed, when the car went off the road, traveled about 150 yards in a ditch, and crashed into a tree, the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office told NEWS CENTER Maine.
One person was in the car, and was taken to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor with serious injuries, officials said.
