PHILLIPS — A Temple woman and her daughters were injured Tuesday night when the car she was driving struck a tree on Bridge Street.

“Speed and alcohol appear to be factors,” Sgt. Matt Brann wrote in a report to Franklin County Sheriff Scott Nichols Sr.

Tabatha Chabot, 34, was driving a 2002 Dodge Intrepid at 6:11 p.m. when it failed to negotiate a turn and a hit a tree head-on, Brann wrote.

Chabot suffered a possible fractured femur. Daughters Shaila Mondor, 14, complained of foot pain and Ava Cox, 7, complained of head pain, Brann wrote. 

All three were taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington.

Chabot was charged with one count each of operating under the influence and endangering the welfare of a child, Nichols wrote.

Both are Class D charges. A conviction on either charge is punishable by a maximum of 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
