Driver Who Stopped to Help Critically Injured in Snowy I-95 Crash in Veazie

Investigators cite snowy conditions in a review of the crash.

Overview

  • The crash sequence near mile marker 189 on I-95 north, which unfolded Monday around 7 p.m., began when an 18-year-old from Bangor lost control of a Kia Sorento and came to rest in the median.
  • A 54-year-old man from Medford pulled over to help and stood with the teen behind a guardrail while his wife called 911.
  • A 19-year-old from Old Town then lost control in the snow and struck them, throwing both down an embankment.
  • The Medford man remains in critical condition, and both the Bangor driver and the Old Town driver sustained minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.
  • Maine State Police say speed is not believed to be a factor, and the investigation into the snow-related loss of control continues.
