A 15-year-old girl who was driving without a license was killed and three passengers in her car injured in a crash Friday afternoon in Edgecomb.

According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, a Subaru station wagon headed north on Parsons Point Road went off the road and crashed into trees shortly after 2 p.m.

Officials said the 15-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The other three girls in the car – one 14 years old and two 15 years old – were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Two were taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland and one to Lincoln Health Miles Campus in Damariscotta.

Information on their conditions was not available Friday night and sheriff’s deputies did not release the names of the any of those involved because of their ages.

Deputies said speed and driver inexperience were factors in the crash, which occurred on a narrow residential road.

An investigation into why an unlicensed driver was behind the wheel and how she came to be in possession of the car is continuing, deputies said.

Parsons Point Road was shut down until about 5:30 p.m., the sheriff’s department said.
