(NECN/AP) - A senior at Massachusetts Maritime Academy has been arrested after allegedly striking and injuring three pedestrians, two of whom are also students at the school.
Officials tell NECN the Mass Maritime student arrested is 21-year-old Max Yerger.
School president Adm. Richard Gurnon tells the Cape Cod Times the pedestrians were struck at about 1:10 a.m. Friday. The car then backed up and drove way.
Bourne police arrested the driver shortly after the accident. No names have been released.
Gurnon says the suspect was returning to campus from an area bar. The victims had been at the same bar.
Gurnon says the two cadet victims are in good condition at a hospital.
A Bourne fire official says the third victim was flown to a Boston hospital with what he called potentially life-threatening injuries.
