No one was injured in the crash, said Maj. Dana Thompson of the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office.

The crash happened at around 9:15 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of Route 5 and Route 2 in Bethel, the sheriff’s office said in a release.

Fiona Hume, 22, of Braintree, Massachusetts, was traveling northbound on Route 5 in a Volvo when she failed to stop at the intersection, sliding into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer driving eastbound.

Hume’s vehicle collided with the tractor trailer driven by Scott Lee, 57, of Jackman, the sheriff’s office said.

The impact caused the tractor trailer to skid and collide with a third vehicle as it traveled westbound on West Bethel Road. The third vehicle, a Toyota driven by Meagan Lunney, 39, of Bethel, sustained minor damages, according to the release.

Both the tractor trailer and the Volvo were extensively damaged and towed away from the scene. There were three passengers in the Volvo, but none of them or any of the three drivers were injured.

The sheriff’s office said snowy conditions, speed and driver inattention contributed to the crash.
