LEWISTON – A Sabattus truck driver pronounced dead at the scene after his flatbed rig crashed into the median of the Maine Turnpike earlier this month did not die from his injuries in that crash, police said today.

There was no trauma to the body of 36-year-old Randy Sebring, whose truck crashed into a guardrail near the Sabattus-Lewiston line of the turnpike, according to Stephen McCausland, spokesman for Maine State Police.

He said the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which performed the autopsy, plans to conduct additional tests to try to determine the cause of Sebring’s death.

A spokeswoman at that office said toxicology would be one of those tests. Results aren’t expected for up to five months from the date of Sebring’s death a week ago.

Sebring was found by rescue crews shortly before 3 p.m. on July 17 in the single-vehicle accident. He was driving south on Interstate 95, about a mile south of the Sabattus interchange.

The truck bed was loaded with construction scaffolding. Traffic was narrowed to a single lane after the accident.
