At the last report, all the other injured parties were in stable condition.

An investigation into the circumstances indicates that a Ford F250 pickup truck, driven by a 37-year-old Sabattus man, was traveling inbound on Lisbon, at a high rate of speed. The pickup struck the rear of the Volvo, which was stopped at a traffic light and then propelled the Volvo into a Chevy cargo van.

Police say the pickup's driver has been arrested and is charged with violating probation. More charges are expected, including operating a motor vehicle under suspension.
