One person suffered serious internal injuries and three others sustained non-life-threatening injuries after the truck they were riding in lost control around a curve early Sunday and went off the road.
Emilie Cloutier, 17, of Quebec, Canada, was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital for her undisclosed injuries following the single-vehicle accident, which occurred around 2:50 a.m. Sunday near the intersection of High Street and Mill Pond Lane, according to Hampton Deputy Police Chief Rich Sawyer.
Sawyer said Cloutier was a passenger in a 2004 Chevrolet pickup truck driver by Christopher J. Hardy, 19, of Exeter, when the truck failed to negotiate a curve while traveling west on High Street toward Mill Pond Lane.
Sawyer said the vehicle — in which Corey Nardone, 22, of Hampton, and Virginie Clusiault, 19, of Quebec, Canada were also riding — "lost control" and went off the roadway before colliding with a rock, which Sawyer said sent the truck "airborne."
The truck traveled about 40 feet before striking a telephone pole and coming to a rest, according to Sawyer.
Additional details about the accident weren't available Sunday.
Sawyer said Hardy, Nardone and Clusiault were transported to local hospitals for their undisclosed, non-life-threatening injuries.
The accident is still under investigation. Sawyer asked anyone with additional information to contact the at 929-4444.
