SABATTUS, Maine — Sabattus Police have released photos on their Facebook page of a car they believe was allegedly part of a road rage incident on Sabattus Road on Thursday.
A Sabattus man was injured in the crash.
Officers investigating an unrelated violation near Marsh Road at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday heard a loud noise and saw a large dust cloud about 100 yards away, Sabattus Police Chief Sheila Wetherbee said in a release Thursday afternoon.
Police found 29-year-old Zachary Storkson trapped inside a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander that had been involved in a single-vehicle crash. Police forced open the vehicle door and Storkson was taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston with non-life-threatening injuries, Wetherbee said.
An investigation, including surveillance video from a nearby business, indicates the crash followed a road rage incident between Storkson and the unknown operator of a late-model blue Nissan sedan, according to police.
Storkson lost control of the Mitsubishi after passing the Nissan in the direct path of oncoming traffic, Wetherbee said, and crashed, coming to rest in nearby trees.
The crash remains under investigation and charges could result.
Police ask anyone with information on the crash or the identity of the other driver to call Sabattus Police Officer Mike Rioux at 207-375-6952.
