East Millinocket Police are still investigating a single car crash in which they say the vehicle was airborne for well over 100 feet.

Officers were called to the area of Medway and Grindstone Roads where they saw signs of a crash but couldn’t find the vehicle until it was spotted several hundred feet into the woods over an embankment.

The driver had to be extricated with the jaws of life with serious injuries.

Once extricated, East Millinocket Police say EMS began transport to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor before transferring the patient to LifeFlight of Maine.

The crash remains under investigation, but speed and alcohol appear to be factors. East Millinocket Police have not released further information since the crash took place last Thursday.
