TOPSHAM — A Durham woman died from injuries received in a head-on collision on Middlesex Road on March 11.

The Topsham Police and Fire departments responded at 1:39 p.m. to the two-vehicle crash in the 800 block of Middlesex Road, which was closed until about 5 p.m.

Topsham Police Chief Chris Lewis said Christina Babinaw, 44, of Durham was driving a Toyota Corolla north on Middlesex Road when she apparently veered into the southbound lane, striking a Hyundai driven by Bruce Hanson, 65, of Harpswell. 

Babinaw and her passenger, Joshua White, 21, of Durham, and Hanson and his passenger, Taylor Hanson, 32, of Harpswell were all taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where Babinaw died from her injuries. The other three people had non-life threatening injuries, Lewis said.

None of the people involved were wearing seat belts, the chief said, and excessive speed is believed to be a factor.
