ENFIELD, Maine — A woman died and six others were injured Saturday morning in a head-on collision near the intersection of Route 2 and Mohawk Road, according to the Penobscot County sheriff’s office.

An SUV occupied by three people was traveling north on Route 2 about 11:30 a.m. when it crossed into the oncoming lane of an SUV occupied by four people, Deputy Chief Troy Morton said Saturday evening in an email.
A female passenger in the SUV that was traveling south was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other six people were taken to a hospital, some with life-threatening injuries, he said.
Morton said it was unlikely that additional information would be released Sunday, adding that the accident remains under investigation.
