SEBAGO, Maine — A man crashed into a Sebago home Wednesday morning after apparently falling asleep while driving.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday, Cumberland County sheriff's deputies and Sebago fire and EMS personnel responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash into a home on Bridgton Road in Sebago.
