A woman was seriously injured on Monday morning after her vehicle collided with a fully loaded tractor trailer.
Jessica Richards, 42, of New Portland, was northbound on Route 201 at around 1:25 a.m. when her vehicle veered over the centerline and collided with a tractor trailer, the Morning Sentinel reported.
The tractor trailer’s driver, Michel Langelier, 46, of Saint-Prosper, Quebec, was not injured.
Richards, who suffered from a potential head injury and an injury to her upper left arm, was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
