LEWISTON — A 28-year-old woman is dead after a vehicle crashed into a home early Wednesday, police said in a Facebook post.

Natasha Thoits, of Lewiston, was trapped in the vehicle after it hit a single-family home at 4 Old Lisbon Road, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene after being extricated from the vehicle.
The vehicle was a 2017 BMW driven by Blaze Smalls, 25, of Lewiston, who suffered minor injuries in the crash.
A third person in the vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, police said.
A fourth person, described as a male, fled the scene on foot before police arrived, the release said. Some witnesses reported that the man was carrying a gun when he fled.
A neighbor said the woman who lives in the home was asleep across the hall when the crash occurred. She was roused from sleep when the car slammed into her house, but was not injured.
Smalls, the driver of the BMW, has a criminal history of crashing into buildings. In November 2017, he was arrested on charges of eluding police, criminal mischief and other offenses after fleeing from police before crashing into the Margaret Murphy Center for Children at the corner of Charles Street and Western Promenade in Auburn.
Smalls later entered a plea arrangement and was sentenced to a fine of $200 and restitution set at $500.
As of Wednesday afternoon, no charges had been filed in the Wednesday morning crash in Lewiston as police continued to investigate the fatality.
