When Emergency personnel arrived, they located the vehicle, a gray 2005 Cadillac CTS, off the side of the road and into a wooded area. The vehicle had sustained heavy damage and appeared to have rolled over before coming to rest upright on all four wheels.

One occupant was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital and three to Wentworth Douglas. Another occupant was transported to Portsmouth Regional with serious injuries and later flown to Boston.
