On Monday evening three teens were involved in a car crash on Mile Hill Road. The car swerved off the road, hit an embankment, and flipped while speeding around a curve.
The driver, Jamie Peterson of Belmont crawled out of the car on his own, but the two female passengers remained trapped inside. When rescuers arrived on the scene, the jaws of life were used to free the passengers. After the 45 minute operation, the victims were taken to Memorial Hospital in Belmont. One of them was airlifted to Mass. General in Boston.
Josie M. Crandall, a resident of Mile Hill Road, told police she looked out her window around 9 PM and saw the Mustang headed North on the road.
“I’ve never seen a car going so fast on this road,” Crandall said. “It’s a dirt road, and it’s really easy to lose control.”
Tom Carroll, 17, was first to arrive on the scene. Carroll was driving behind Peterson’s white Mustang when he saw it take the corner.
“I thought the worst. They were flying,” he said.
Carroll told the police he saw at least three empty Budweiser cans on the ground. It is unknown whether the accident was due to drunk driving.
There was a fatal accident on the same road on December 24, 1998. Two people were killed.
