Two people are dead after an early Thursday morning crash in Old Town.

Patrick McMullin, 26, of Howland was driving south on Interstate 95, near mile marker 199, about 5:45 a.m. when he lost control of his Jeep while passing another vehicle, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

McMullin went off the right side of I-95 and struck a tree, Moss said Thursday.

McMullin and his passenger, 18-year-old Treasa Savage of Lincoln, died at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.
