WINTHROP -- One person was taken by helicopter to a Lewiston hospital Friday afternoon after a two-car accident at the intersection of U.S. Route 202 and Route 135.

Richard St. Laurent, 72, of Winthrop was taken by a LifeFlight of Maine helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center with head and chest trauma, said Officer Chris Carson of the Winthrop Police Department.

St. Laurent's condition was unavailable Friday evening. A 2-year-old girl -- one of five children, all 10 or younger, riding in the second vehicle -- hit her head during the accident and was taken by family members to a hospital, Carson said. None of the other children, nor the driver, Aimee Cushing, 32, of Readfield, was injured.

The accident occurred around 3 p.m. when St. Laurent went to make a left turn to head west on U.S. Route 202. St. Laurent turned his four-door Saturn into the path of an eastbound Chevy Suburban being driven by Cushing. The impact destroyed much of the front and rear driver's side of the Saturn.

Traffic on U.S. Route 202 backed up for more than 30 minutes, Carson said. Neither speed nor alcohol appear to be a factor and there were no charges, he said.
