Portland, ME – Injury Vehicle Crash Shuts Down Gorham & Westbrook Rds

Portland, ME - Injury Vehicle Crash Shuts Down Gorham & Westbrook Rds
October 21, 2024

Portland, ME (October 21, 2024) – A roughly two-mile stretch of road connecting Gorham and Westbrook Roads reopened on October 21 after closing for nearly an hour following a car crash, Cumberland County officials said.

Witness photos and local news footage from the scene appeared to show the aftermath of a rear-end collision around 3:00 p.m. It’s unclear how many victims were injured, though EMT units and fire rescue squads were dispatched to assess those who were hurt. Per officers, there was no indication that alcohol played a role in the crash; however, an investigation is still ongoing in the meantime.

Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones.

Injury-Causing Crashes in Maine

At least two or more drivers are often involved in car crashes, particularly on busy roadways and interstates such as Interstates 95 and 295, which connect the various locales and busy metropolises that span Maine. Unfortunately, the severity and complexity of post-accident issues—such as obtaining compensation in a personal injury claim—generally increases with the number of drivers involved in a single collision. For example, each driver in an accident involving several vehicles often has their own set of unique injuries or issues after the crash, such as their likely different insurance company and adjuster.

Different kinds of injuries that need specific types of treatment or medical attention occur, driving up the exorbitant costs of care for injured victims.
