NORTH YARMOUTH, Maine — Two women suffered serious injuries in a head-on crash in North Yarmouth Wednesday afternoon.
The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office and North Yarmouth Fire Department were called to the area of 392 Walnut Hill Rd. for a two-vehicle crash at approximately 12:34 p.m., according to a news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
An initial investigation revealed a blue 2011 Kia Sorento driven by Lori-Lynne Wilcox-Robson of Yarmouth crossed the center line while traveling northbound, striking a black 2022 Toyota Corolla driven by Katherine Wood headed southbound, the release said.

Both Wilcox-Robson and Wood were reportedly brought to Maine Medical Center with serious injuries.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, and airbags deployed in both vehicles, deputies said. Neither vehicle contained additional passengers. Speed and alcohol do not reportedly appear to be factors in the crash.
