Standish, ME (June 14, 2024) – Authorities say a Maine man fell asleep behind the wheel and crashed head-on into a pickup truck in Standish on Thursday, injuring two people in the collision.

Per local officials, the crash happened on Whites Bridge Road around 6:40 a.m. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office says a 39-year-old Poland man fell asleep while driving a Dodge Ram pickup truck, crossed the center line, and hit a Ford F-350 driven by a 69-year-old Standish man head-on. At least two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland, according to deputies, but it's unclear how many people total were involved. However, an investigation is still ongoing.

Injury Vehicle Crashes in Maine

At least two or more drivers are often involved in car crashes, particularly on busy roadways like I-95 and I-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 given 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.
