The 15-year-old was checked by medical personnel at the scene of the 12:30 a.m. crash and taken by NorthStar Ambulance to Franklin Memorial Hospital with a possible head injury. He was then transferred to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where he was listed in stable condition.
The 1992 GMC pickup driven by King is owned by Jeffrey Thomas, of Harmony, who reported the truck stolen after the crash, Rackliffe said. The crash is being investigated by the sheriff’s department.
Rackliffe said he didn’t know how King and the passenger knew each other.
King also had minor injuries from the accident and was checked by NorthStar Ambulance personnel, but he refused medical care.
New Sharon Fire Department assisted the accident by providing early medical care as well as traffic control.
