CASTLE HILL (WGME) — Two teenagers were hospitalized on Friday night following a rollover crash in Aroostook County.

Police say the single-vehicle crash on Route 227 in Castle Hill happened just after 9 p.m.

According to police, the driver had attempted to swerve to miss a deer in the road, then crossed the centerline and lost control of the car.

The car rolled a number of times before coming to stop in a stand of trees.

Both the driver and the passenger were able to get out of the car, and were transported to a hospital in Presque Isle with serious injuries.

Police say driver inexperience and speed are factors in the crash.

Neither the driver or passenger were wearing seatbelts.
