MIDDLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - A Middleborough man crashed his SUV into two vehicles, a utility pole and a tree before coming to a stop on the side of the road Thursday night, police said.

David J. Thimas, 36, was driving north on Center Street about 9:12 p.m. when his 2006 Nissan Pathfinder crashed into a 2002 Ford F-150 being driven by a 32-year-old Middleborough man, police said. Following the initial crash, police said Thimas continued north, where he hit a second car driven by a 23-year-old woman from Middleborough, police added.

Thimas’ SUV finally stopped about 100 feet later after crashing into a pole and a tree, police said.

Thimas was flown via MedFlight to a Boston hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the pickup truck was transported by ground ambulance to a Rhode Island Hospital in Providence with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash remains under investigation but police believe that speed was a factor.
