Car Crashes on Mile Hill Road

Two teens were hospitalized Tuesday after a serious car crash on Mile Hill Road. The driver was able to walk away from the crash, leaving the two passengers trapped in the car until rescuers arrived.

The driver, Jamie Peterson, was driving two unnamed females in his white Mustang. At approximately 9 p.m., the car suddenly picked up speed and flipped off the side of the dirt road.

Josie M. Crandall, a resident of 27 Mile Hill Road, witnessed the Mustang travelling at fast speeds just before the crash.

“I’ve never seen a car going so fast on this road. It’s a dirt road, and it’s really easy to lose control,” said Crandall.

Tom Carroll, Jr., 17, was driving behind the car before it flipped. “I thought the worst, they were flying,” said Carroll. Carroll was the first to arrive on scene and told police he found three empty beer cans underneath the car.

Rescuers used the Jaws of Life to free the two girls. After 45 minutes, the girls were rushed to Memorial Hospital in Belmont, where one of them was airlifted to Mass. General Hospital.
