ROCKPORT — A single-vehicle crash on Route 90 Friday night resulted in one passenger being transported to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport for facial and jaw injury, as well as chest pain.

The accident occurred on West Street (Route 90), near the intersection of Forest Glen Drive, just past the entrance to Camden Hills Regional High School.

According to the Rockport Police Department accident report, the driver, Samuel Rogers, 19, of Hope, was heading east on the road in a 1998 Saab just after 10 p.m. Oct 11 when he swerved to avoid a deer, he told the police.

The car skidded for approximately 28 feet before hitting the ditch, striking a clump of maple trees and landing on the driver’s side, the report said.

When Rockport Police Officer Dana Smith arrived, both Rogers and passenger Hollis Mallett had escaped the car and were on the side of the road.

An ambulance crew with North East Mobile Health Services took Mallett, who was bleeding and had lost teeth, to the hospital. Rockport Fire Department also responded to the scene.

Rogers was issued a summons for an expired inspection sticker and possession of drug paraphernalia (pipe), the report said. Smith said in the report that vehicle speed was a factor in the crash.

Camden Exxon removed the car from the ditch.
