Plymouth is having a hard day today! Saying a prayer right now for all concerned.
@letsbehonestforonce:disqus I know it. I live in Plymouth, and I saw both the scene of this accident, and also where the fire was on Ridge Rd. Not sure what’s going on today.
Tried to get to a friend’s on Moosehead Tr in Dixmont and came upon that scene around 1345 hrs. Penobscot SO still had Rt 7 shut down at the 95 exit. Tough day in Plymouth.
