Portsmouth Police have released the names of the adult victims involved in the multi-vehicle crash Tuesday evening on West Main Road in Portsmouth.

Dodd’s Suburban then collided head-on with a Nissan Altima driven by Bryan Babcock, 45, of Middletown, with a 13-year-old and 16-year-old passenger. All three suffered life threatening injuries with Babcock being transported by helicopter to Rhode Island Hospital. The teens were transported to at Hasbro Children’s Hospital for treatment.
