ROCHESTER - Two young men were seriously injured Sunday night when their vehicle went into a "tumbling" rollover on Rochester Hill Road.

The accident occurred around 11:30 p.m. in the area of 314 Rochester Hill Road near Profile Apartments where police say the two were both ejected when their 2013 Nissan Altima rolled over several times.

Both occupants sustained serious injuries and were taken to area hospitals, one to Wentworth Douglass Hospital and one to Portsmouth Regional Hospital.

The two are identified as Johnny Robles, 21, of Somersworth, and Ethan Seavey, 19, of Rochester
