North Andover, Massachusetts
A male Brooks School student who was airlifted to Brigham and Women's Hospital after a single-vehicle crash Wednesday night is in critical but stable condition, according to Lt. E.J. Foulds, spokesman for the North Andover Police Department.
Two other occupants of the Jeep Cherokee that struck a boulder and a tree on Bradford Street have been transferred from Lawrence General Hospital to medical facilities in Boston, Foulds said. The fourth victim was treated at Lawrence General and released, he said.
The driver lost control of the vehicle ended up in a gully, struck a boulder and a tree, ricocheted back onto the road and caught fire, Foulds said.
"We believe driver inexperience was a contributing factor," Foulds said. The driver was a female, he said.
Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash, he said. Criminal charges have not been filed at this time.
The accident is still under investigation by North Andover police.
