GORHAM, Maine — A woman is facing multiple endangerment charges after a fiery crash on Mosher Road in Gorham Friday morning.
Ashley Mclean, 35, of Gorham has been charged with operating under the influence, driving to endanger, endangering the welfare of two kids, and reckless conduct, Sgt. Ted Hatch of the Gorham Police Department told NEWS CENTER Maine.
Mclean had two daughters in the car, ages 4 and 7, and one of them had minor injuries, according to Hatch. He said the vehicle went into a ditch and came to rest against a telephone pole.
The girls are with other family and are safe, Hatch said, adding it's unclear why the woman was on the road at that time with two young kids while allegedly impaired. All people in the vehicle were assessed by Gorham Rescue Personnel, and the Gorham Fire Department extinguished the vehicle fire, according to a news release from the police department.
