LIVERMORE — An East Dixfield man died Sunday from injuries he received when the van he was a passenger in slid in the snow on Route 4 and collided with another vehicle Saturday night, State Police Lt. Walter Grzyb said.
Richard Stickney, 69, of East Dixfield, died early Sunday several hours after the accident occurred at about 9:30 p.m., he said.
Three others were also taken by ambulance to the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston after the crash.
Sabrina Stickney, 39, of Mexico was driving a 1998 Dodge Caravan northbound when she lost control in the snow on a corner, just north of the Boothby Road/Route 108 intersection, Grzyb said Monday.
The van slid sideways and skidded into the southbound lane into the path of a 1998 Toyota 4-Runner driven by James MacMahon, 67, of Scarborough, which was heading south, Grzyb said.
The van was pretty much T-boned on the passenger side, he said.
“Drugs and alcohol are not considered to be factors,” Grzyb said. “The snow certainly played a major factor.”
Neither driver was injured, he said.
Three people had to be extricated from the van, Livermore Fire Chief Don Castonguay said Monday.
“We took out the two passenger doors” to get some of the victims out, Castonguay said.
There were four adults and three children in the van and two people in the 4-Runner, he said.
Ambulance crews from three different agencies and firefighters from two departments assisted at the scene, he said.
