Five juveniles from Massachusetts were taken to the hospital after the car they were riding in crashed into a tree and burst into flames in New Hampshire early Friday morning, authorities said.
Officers and firefighters responding to a report of a motor vehicle accident in the area of Jericho Road and Curier Road in Pelham around 3:25 a.m. found a 2013 Volkswagen Golf fully engulfed in flames, according to the Pelham Police Department.
All of the juveniles, from Dracut and Lowell, were taken to a Massachusetts hospital. One of them suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while the other four suffered minor injuries.
Alcohol and speed appear to be a factor in the crash, police noted. The names of those involved in the crash weren’t released.
An investigation is ongoing.
