First responders arrived to find a pickup truck that had crashed into a tree and ended up on its side, trapping the driver and front passenger.

The driver, 21-year-old Chase Weese, was removed from the vehicle using the Jaws of Life and was taken by Lifeflight to Maine Medical Center with possible life-threatening injuries.
