Overview
- The chain crash Monday evening on I-95 near mile marker 189 in Veazie left a 54-year-old helper in critical condition, with speed not suspected.
- Investigators say an 18-year-old from Bangor first lost control of a Kia Sorento in the snow and came to rest in the median.
- A 54-year-old Medford man stopped to help and stood with her behind a guardrail as his wife called 911, and police say he may have tried to shield her.
- A 19-year-old from Old Town then lost control on the slick road and struck both people outside, throwing them down an embankment.
- The two young drivers were treated for minor injuries, in a case that underscores how winter spinouts put people on foot at high risk on busy highways.
