ROXBURY, Maine — A Rumford woman walking along Route 17 Saturday morning was struck and killed by an alleged drunken driver, according to police.
Cailin M. Currivan, 26, died after she was hit by a passing pickup truck around 3:30 a.m., the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement issued Saturday.
The driver of the pickup was Kyle Kennedy, 22, of Rumford, police said. He was arrested on a charge of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants.
The crash was reported to police at 3:43 a.m., according to the statement. The road was closed for several hours following the collision while police investigated and reconstructed the crash.
