SABATTUS — A driver escaped without life-threatening injuries Wednesday night when a car flipped on Crowley Road, rolled several times and landed at the front door of a house.
The car, a four-door Ford, landed on its tires just a few feet from the two-story house at 447 Crowley Road on the Sabattus side. Inside the battered white car, police said the lone occupant was hurt but not critically so.
Information about the driver was not immediately available. Police said it appeared the white Ford was headed into Sabattus from Lewiston when the driver lost control on a curve at the town line.
The car flipped and rolled between a group of boulders, skidding across the lawn toward the house. It came to rest upright, airbags deployed, the nose of the car pressed in against a pair of shrubs that flank the front door.
While police investigated late Wednesday night, a woman wrapped in a pink robe chatted with officers at the front of the house. Nobody inside the home was injured, police said.
The crash occurred just yards across the Sabattus town line. Police from that town were handling the investigation.
It was not immediately clear what caused the driver to lose control, although the crash occurred on a curve as a low fog was moving over the area.
The investigation was expected to continue into Thursday morning.
