I will place the fault on the person who was text messaging, talking or driving the Subaru wagon as we all know that 90% of all Subaru drivers are terrible drivers. Yes, you people that drive Subaru's are terrible drivers. Sadly a large percentage of those that live down east own a Subaru so I was not surprised to read that a Subaru was involved in the crash. If you think I am wrong about Subaru drivers that live down east. Drive to MDI, Ellsworth, Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Belfast, and Searsport and get stuck behind one. You will understand.

The impact of this accident was felt and heard in surrounding homes. The wreckage and scene looked awful. I'm SO glad all of the people involved are in stable condition.

Ha hahaha! funny kev 90% of downeasters cant afford a suburu

Also kevin, 8 out of 10 flannel wearing lesbians prefer Subaru forester wagons.

"Tens of yards". That's journalism at it's finest.

at-tached ??? I noticed combined was spelled com-bined in the ambulance story... ?

we flipped over a camper once. what a mess!!! and the propane leaking everywhere was the worst! couldn't hardly breathe. we made the front page to... but in waterville/skowhegan. Not fun!

I'll pull a chersully2000 here....WAAAAAAA someone thumed me down. obviously scarcasam truly IS lost in type.

It's to bad RV manufacturers could not build RV's a little more rigid. Most of the large lumbering RV's on the road are driven by the older retired crowd. They are slow and cumbersome so why not construct them a little more solid? Sure it will add to the sticker price but I'll bet most would not mind. I've driven several Prevost RV/tour bus type vehicles and I feel much safer in one of thoes as opposed to a traditional 'winnie' any day.

vchapes- They copy and paste stories from their newspaper layouts.

I can not beleive that someone could be so closed minded to make a statement like all Subaru drivers can not drive.

AND speaking of subarus... whoever made the comment.... Thank you... i just drove from jackson to belfast and back.... and i lost count but i saw somewhere around 25 subaru wagons. All either driving or in a driveway. It's all i notice now. UGH

"That's journalism at it's finest."

And that, JustKev1955, is punctuation at ITS finest.

Grow up, all of you!

All these crazy comments, and no one mentions that the kid is named Charlie Brown?

at least charlie brown was ok,, but the dude in the motorhome was pulling another car and was in the wrong lane when he hit the subaru,,, There are so many of them because its one of the only cars that can handle the maine winters.... and no I dont have one.

Grayson21, you need to get your facts straight before you go online posting such, may I say ignorant, comments as yours. It was the Subaru that crossed the yellow line and collided with the RV, NOT the RV crossing the line. The Subaru had been driving erratically and clearly lost control and crossed over. You can also see that very plainly by just the photograph. I will say that many RV drivers are inexperienced to drive such vehicles, but in this case the driver was highly skilled with a Class A drivers license and is one of very few RV drivers that belong behind the wheel of them. It is because of his skills that the outcome wasn't much worse. Also, the fact that another car was being towed is irrelevant.

Motorhomes/RV's NEED to be built to withstand a crash, not built like a tank, but look at the pictures, it just fell apart! When our camper flipped 3 times it didn't fall apart that bad, it was still held together.

They are designed to collapse, just like cars are now a days. The two in the RV walked away with scratches and bruises. The RV did as it is designed to do. It absorbed the impact so that the people didn't.

I am under the assumption that the person or persons that posted the comment about the suburu crossing over the yellow line must have been at the scene of the accident to know the accurate way that the accident happened. As I have been told it was the driver of the rv that croosed over, got flipped over in the wind and slide down the road before the subura drove into the middle of it. The people no matter who was at fault are very lucky to all be alive and to walk away to thank the Lord another day.

Whoa Pauline, you really have your story mixed up. There is nothing true about what you have been told. Wind?!? The point of impact is the side of the RV which would have been impossible if it had already flipped. It is interesting how rumors spread, and I am fully aware of how the accident occured. But I will agree with you in that everyone is very lucky to be alive with relatively minor injuries and that is the important thing. However, dangerous drivers need to face the consequences of their actions.

bandcrubin is correct. I was there and saw it happen.
