Police from the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a single-vehicle crash involving five young people Tuesday evening in Sidney.

A Ford Focus sedan carrying five young people, all 18 or younger, was traveling north on Middle Road around 7:15 p.m. when it appears the driver lost control, said Sgt. Mike Dutil.

The car rolled over and went into a ditch, he said on the phone Tuesday night, causing minor injuries to some of the people in the car.

Three people were taken to the hospital, Dutil said.

The state police K-9 unit responded to the scene initially as well.

Police are looking into whether speed or alcohol were involved in the crash, Dutil said.
