Wrong-way accident injures driver on I-95

SIDNEY – State police say a Waterville man was injured crashing his car on I-95 in the latest wrong-way crash on a Maine interstate.

State Trooper Jeffrey Beach said the driver, 29-year-old Richard Crowley, suffered injuries including head trauma when his car slammed into a guardrail Thursday in Sidney. He was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.

It’s part of a troubling spate of wrong-way incidents that started with a fatal collision April 28 on the Maine Turnpike in Ogunquit.

After that, an elderly man from South Carolina was suspected of driving the wrong way on I-295 in Greater Portland, but no one was hurt in that incident. Less than two weeks later, a motorist was killed in a fiery collision on I-95 in Augusta.
