BANGOR, Maine — Multiple vehicles were involved in multiple crashes Friday morning on Interstate 95 northbound between exits 185 and 186 in Bangor.
The incident started around 8:15 a.m., when the driver of a Dodge Caliber reportedly swerved to avoid roadkill, then overcorrected and went into a ditch, rolling multiple times, according to Katy England of the Maine Department of Public Safety. That crash forced traffic to slow down, which led to subsequent crashes.
The subsequent crashes involved two large tractor-trailers and several passenger vehicles.
The northbound lane was closed briefly to allow for crews to clean up the scene.
Two people were brought to St. Joseph's Hospital for injuries not considered life-threatening and were released, England said.
The crash remains under investigation, but no charges are expected at this time, England stated.
