Tractor trailer crash in Carmel I-95 near mile marker 169

The driver of the tractor trailer Donald Leblanc, 61, and passenger Peter Nickerson, 30, both of Nova Scotia, were transported to EMMC with non-life-threatening injuries. Leblanc reportedly fell asleep, leaving the roadway and striking the ledge before coming to final rest on its side in a ditch.
Troopers will work with MaineDOT and recovery companies to clear the area and re-open the roadway by mid-afternoon.

Maine State Police are investigating a tractor-trailer roll-over crash that happened at approximately 3:32am northbound on in Carmel. Troopers say one lane of I-95 will be closed and motorists should make extra time during their morning commute.

Troopers and MaineDOT will have both lanes open for the motoring public from 6:00am to 8:00 am, at which time MaineDOT will set a lane closure in the passing lane for recovery and environmental clean-up. It is expected that I-95 in this area will be down to one lane until mid-afternoon.
