Brewer, ME - Woman Hospitalized After Chain-Reaction Crash on I-395

Brewer, ME (December 17, 2024) – Icy road conditions caused five separate crashes involving a dozen vehicles on Monday morning in central Maine. Maine State Police said they responded to Interstate 395 westbound on the bridge in Brewer at 7:20 a.m. Monday.

A Toyota Tacoma had lost control due to the icy conditions, and a chain-reaction collision resulted in three more crashes in this area in the next few minutes. In all, ten vehicles were involved. One female driver was taken to Saint Joseph's Hospital with complaints of pain due to airbag deployment, but no other serious injuries requiring transfer to the hospital were reported. In the meantime, the crash is under investigation and is being reconstructed, though speed is believed to have been a factor, according to police. In the interim, witnesses were asked to contact local authorities.
