ROCHESTER - Four people were injured in a two-car crash at the corner of Rochester Hill Road and Airport Drive on Tuesday.

The accident occurred around 3:30 p.m. when police say a Honda Pilot operated southbound by Jennifer Temple, 34 of Berwick Maine, was stopped at a red light on Rochester Hill Road and was struck from behind by a Toyota Matrix driven by Robert Caplette, 68 of Somersworth, N.H.

Caplette and two adult occupants in his vehicle were transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital by Frisbie EMS. Temple did respond to the hospital, but did not use the ambulance services.  All the injuries were believed to be nonlife-threatening.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene.

Caplette was cited for Negligent Driving and is scheduled to appear in the 7th Circuit Court of Rochester next month for arraignment.
