On December 2, 2024, at approximately 7:25 am, Troopers from Troop I responded to a two vehicle crash southbound on I-295 in the town of Freeport near mile 22.
The crash involved a 2018 Volkswagen and a 2024 Toyota. The Toyota was going from the right lane to the left lane and struck the Volkswagen.
This caused the Volkswagen to go to the left and strike the guardrail. The Toyota rolled onto its roof coming to final rest in the middle of the interstate.
The driver of the Toyota was transported by Freeport Rescue to Maine Medical Center in Portland for non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Volkswagen had minor complaint of pain but declined transport.
Other than a brief stoppage, traffic was able to get by the scene in a third lane that was a merging lane from the exit 22 on-ramp.
Troopers were assisted on scene by Freeport PD, Freeport Fire & Rescue, Maine DOT, and Atlantic Coast Towing.
