BERWICK — Two people were taken to the hospital this morning following a three-car crash on Route 236 that was the result of a driver reaching for her cell phone, police said.
A woman driving a Volvo station wagon was headed north about a half-mile from the South Berwick line at 7:30 a.m. when she crossed the center line on a curve while reaching for her phone, police said.
The driver of an oncoming pickup tried to avoid the car but they collided on the front and sides of the vehicles, and the pickup rolled over off the road, police said. The driver of the pickup was uninjured but a dog that was riding in the truck was taken to a veterinarian to be checked out, police said.
A Toyota Rav4 following the pickup also hit the Volvo, police said. The driver of that car and the Volvo were taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, N.H., for treatment.
The road was closed for a couple of hours while police reconstructed the crash.
Police have not brought any charges yet in the crash.
