FAIRFIELD, Maine — Two people were injured and a third experienced critical injuries in a head-on two-vehicle crash in Fairfield on Monday night.
It happened around 5:18 p.m. on Norridgewock Road, in the area of Mae's Way, according to a news release issued by Fairfield Police Department spokesperson Officer Casey Dugas.
Police on Tuesday identified Garrett Greene, 21, of Oakland, and his passenger, Elizabeth Hume, 20, of Oakland, as the two people who experienced minor injuries. They were both taken to Thayer Hospital for treatment, officials said.
Christopher Merry, 54, of Norridgewock, was driving the other vehicle and was taken to Thayer Hospital with critical injuries. He was later transferred to Maine Medical Center, officials said.
Police said Greene was driving south in the northbound lane of Norridgewock Road in a 2009 Ford F-150 truck. Merry, who was driving northbound in a 2014 Jeep Compass, was unable to avoid the truck, according to police.
Maine State Police is reportedly reconstructing the crash, which the District Attorney's Office will later review. Fairfield police said Monday that Sgt. Patrick Mank, the primary investigating officer in the crash, anticipates charges would be forthcoming.
