SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — A South Portland woman was charged with driving to endanger early Sunday morning after police said she drove the wrong way on Interstate 295 in Falmouth.
Around 3:40 a.m. Sunday, the Augusta Regional Communications Center received multiple calls of a driver traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of I-295 in Falmouth at mile 10, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss said in a Monday news release.
State police troopers and local law enforcement responded to the incident. They reported a 2012 Ford Fusion made it to mile 22 in Freeport when it went into the construction zone and landed between the concrete construction barriers—where construction crews would have been if they were working at the time, Moss said.
Tatiana Bisimwa, 28, of South Portland, was issued a criminal summons for driving to endanger and released, according to the news release. In addition, an adverse driving report will be submitted to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
The vehicle was towed from the scene. There were no injuries or subsequent crashes as a result of the incident.
