Police are investigating a crash that injured two and left a hole in a building on Lisbon Street, according to a Lisbon Police Department news release.

Lisbon first responders were called to 644 Lisbon St. around 8:30 a.m., after receiving reports of a serious crash involving two vehicles and a building.

A 69-year-old Lisbon man was driving his 2017 Ford pickup truck west on Lisbon Street when he struck a utility pole near Aroma Joe’s at 692 Lisbon St. He continued on, striking a sign at 661 Lisbon St., then across the lawn and parking lot of Martin’s Paving, and struck another utility pole across from Adept Screen Printing and Graphics at 644 Lisbon St. 

The pickup truck then collided with a 2015 Acura SUV traveling east on Lisbon Street before crossing the street and crashing into Adept Screen Printing.

The truck’s operator was transported to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston with critical injuries. The 38-year-old Lewiston man operating his Acura SUV was also transported to CMMC with serious injuries.

The Adept building sustained severe damage. However, three employees inside were not injured.

Accident reconstructionists from the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office are assisting Lisbon police detectives in the investigation.

Lisbon Fire Department assisted with immediate care to the drivers and helped stabilize the building. 

Lisbon Public Works employees, Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s deputies, Topsham police officers and Durham Fire Department personnel assisted with road closures and traffic detours.
