AUBURN — A man was killed and two others were injured Wednesday night when the pickup truck they were traveling in crashed into a tree near 405 Merrow Road in Auburn.
The Auburn police and fire departments were called to the scene around 8:15 p.m., according to a news release from the Auburn Police Department.
A 2012 Ford pickup truck driven by Pablo Trivino, a 24-year-old from Boynton Beach, Florida, was traveling west at a high rate of speed when Trivino began to brake and lost control of his truck, which then left the road and crashed into a tree. The front passenger, Aaron Kirk, 29, of Porter, Texas, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.
Trivino and a second passenger, Riker Hicks, 17, of Mobile, Alabama, were taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston where they were treated for injuries not considered life-threatening, and were later released.
Auburn police are reconstructing the crash. There have been no charges filed at this time, but the investigation remains ongoing.
