Police in Fairfield say an 18-year-old was ejected from her vehicle when it was hit by a trash truck Friday morning.

Police say the crash happened around 7:15 a.m. on Norridgewock Road in front of the Circle K gas station.

The trash truck hit the vehicle when it was turning left out of the gas station parking lot and into the path of the truck.

Both vehicles went off the road. The teen’s vehicle rolled, and she was ejected when her seatbelt failed.

The teen and the truck driver were treated and released from the hospital.

Police say the crash is still under investigation. Speed does not appear to be a factor.
