ORIENT, Maine — Several people were injured Saturday afternoon after the car they were traveling in crashed into a tree after the driver reportedly leaned over to get in frame for a selfie, according to state police.

Jordan Toner, 29, of Hampden and seven friends were traveling on Deering Lake Road in Orient around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, state police said.

As one of his friends was taking a selfie, Toner allegedly leaned over to get into the picture when the 2014 Mazda CX5 he was driving went off the road and hit a tree, police said.

Multiple passengers suffered injuries that included broken bones.

Toner has been charged for failing to maintain control of the car while being distracted.

They had eight people in one of these:

This is not a group of people who make responsible decisions when it comes to vehicle safety.

I can say this because I used to fit 12 people in to my 1999 Outback in college.  Subaru Outback: why you're forced to be the DD for all 4 years of college.

When I was in college we used to get 9 people in a Chevy Nova....no one was drinking or trying to take pictures, though. I don't think we could move our arms.

Well that was stupid.

And people wonder why even passenger phones need to be disabled...

We have a CX5 and my number one complaint is that the backseat is SMALL. I don't know how he fit 8 grown people in that car.

I'm guessing people were in the trunk part.

I fit 6 people in a '68 Mustang. That's all I've got.

Pssssshhh, I fit eight people in a Ford Escort. STRATEGERY.

What is wrong with people? How do 8 people think this was a good idea? Worst part, I bet they are all la-dee-dah, this was just an accident and it was nobody's fault.

[sfy]

Wow.

I guess it's good he's not a moron and liar, but I don't think I would have admitted this. Or maybe one of the seven people was too pissed to keep quiet.

Sounds like he went to public school.
