EASTON — Three individuals escaped serious injury early Saturday morning when two vehicles collided on Forest Ave.
“On Dec. 17 at approximately 3:15 a.m., Trooper Fred Thomas was dispatched to a two-vehicle accident on Forest Ave. in Easton,” said Sgt. Julie Bergan, Maine State Police.
Bergan said the crash involved a local resident leaving her driveway and a second vehicle operating on Forest Ave.
“Tammy Closson, 38, started to leave her driveway at 218 Forest Ave. in a 2010 Toyota pickup when a 1999 Buick LeSabre operated by 19-year-old Kiefer Holton crested the hill. Holto n could not stop and struck Closson’s vehicle almost head-on,” Bergan said.
Crown Ambulance transported Holton and his passenger, 23-year-old Michael York, to The Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle.

The crash remains under investigation. Trooper Thomas was assisted at the scene by members of the Easton Fire Department.
