A man from Orleans was transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center from North Country Hospital in Newport with serious but non-life-threatening injuries resulting from a vehicle vs. bicycle collision Saturday night on Water Street in Orleans. The 8:18 p.m. accident left Samuel Barbeau, 28, of Orleans, hospitalized. Jennifer Sanville, 37, of Orleans, was turning onto School Street from Water Street when police say she failed to yield the right of way to Barbeau, who was riding his bicycle on Water Street towards Church St (Route 58). Sanville’s vehicle struck Barbeau, causing severe bodily injury. Sanville was operating her vehicle with an expired driver’s license and violating her active pretrial release conditions. Sanville was taken into custody and held on $1,500 bail at Northern State Correctional Facility ahead of an August 28 court date in Orleans Superior Court . Police say drug impairment is believed to be a factor in the cause of this crash.
