SACO (AP) – A snowbank along a Maine Turnpike guardrail acted like a ramp that propelled a woman’s southbound car through the air and into oncoming lanes where it crashed head-on into a pickup truck.
Maine State Trooper Duane Doughty said a car driven by 61-year-old Linda Petersen of Wells struck another southbound car shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday in Saco.
The trooper said Petersen then corrected her car and drove into the median guardrail that had a snowbank along its side.
When the car hit the snowbank, it flew threw the air and crashed into a pickup truck driven by 41-year-old David Chretian of Sanford.
Petersen and Chretian were extricated from their cars and taken a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
