Smith crashed the car on Station Road in New Limerick. When state police discovered the wreck, they found Smith pinned under the vehicle.
Smith was taken to Houlton Regional Hospital before being transferred to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where he was listed in fair condition Sunday night. The three people he allegedly assaulted were all admitted to the Houlton hospital.
State police say Smith will face multiple charges, including aggravated assault and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
