WINSLOW (AP) — Police say the teenage driver and passenger who died in a car crash in Winslow last week weren’t wearing seat belts and the driver had an intermediate license that prohibited him from carrying passengers who are not family members.
Police told the Kennebec Journal that Scott Loisel of Winslow and Alexandria Ferland of Vassalboro, both 16, were killed last Friday night when the car Loisel was driving crested a hill at about 70 miles per hour, lost control and slammed into an oncoming taxi. Three people in the taxi were hospitalized.
Police say Loisel was in violation of a license restriction that applies to new juvenile drivers.
The crash remains under investigation.
Funerals for the teenagers are scheduled for Thursday.
