Maine State Police believe a Gardiner man was killed Dec. 28 in an accident on Interstate 295. The body of Ian Carter, 27, was found in a Honda Civic on Saturday.
According to a prepared statement by Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland, Troopers believe Carter’s car went into the median, became airborne and struck a tree about 25 feet off the ground. The car then came to rest down a steep embankment and was discovered late Saturday morning by a passerby in the southbound lane, who saw a reflection off the car in the woods, according to McCausland.
State police said Carter was last seen leaving work in southern Maine on Monday and that no one reported him missing.
Since the crash took place off the northbound lane near the Route 201 exit, Carter may have been driving home when the crash occurred.
