ORIENT, Maine – Maine state police issued a distracted driving summons to a man they say crashed into a tree while taking a “selfie” with his passengers — injuring several of them.
Police say 29-year-old Jordan Toner of Hampden was driving in Orient when he leaned over to take a cellphone photo with some of his seven passengers on Saturday. They say he ran off the road and hit a tree.
Authorities say two women in the front seat who were not wearing seatbelts suffered the most serious injuries. One suffered a fractured nose and facial lacerations and another sustained neck and possible back injuries. Several other passengers — ranging in age from 28 to 35 — suffered minor injuries.
A phone number for Toner could not immediately be found.
