A 15-year-old boy suffered serious injuries Saturday afternoon when when he was ejected from an ATV and struck a tree in Harpswell.

Three teenagers were riding a Polaris ATV around 2:05 p.m. Saturday when the crash occurred.

A 15-year-old boy from Florida was driving the ATV. A 13-year-old boy from Harpswell sat in the passenger’s seat while a 15-year-old boy from Connecticut stood in the back, holding onto the roll bar.

Neither of the 15-year-old boys wore a helmet.

The ATV went off the shoulder of a private road, tipping the ATV and throwing the Connecticut teenager into a tree.

The teen was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The police did not release the names of the three boys.

The crash remains under investigation.
