WEST PARIS – A West Paris woman died Wednesday from injuries she sustained earlier in the week in a one-car crash in her hometown.

State Police said Lisa Smith, 38, died two days after the crash on Route 26. She was a passenger in a car driven by her husband, 48-year-old Kenneth Smith, that went off Route 26 on Labor Day.

According to Maine State Police Trooper Gregory Tirado, the couple was southbound on Route 26 near the Paris town line, traveling in an 4-door Oldsmobile sedan, when they crashed.

He said the car drifted across the centerline and into the northbound lane about 7:45 p.m., went off the side of the road, hit a ditch, went airborne and landed in a second ditch.

Police said the couple were both wearing seat belts.

They had to be removed from the vehicle by emergency crews using the Jaws of Life and were taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston by helicopter.

Kenneth Smith has since been released from CMMC.

Lisa Smith, who worked as a secretary at the Rumford Paper Mill, was the mother of three daughters and two sons.

The crash remains under investigation.
