SEDGWICK, Maine — A man from Brooksville died Sunday night after crashing his vehicle on Route 15 in Sedgwick.
John A. Wallace, 47, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a release from the Hancock County Sheriff's Office.
An initial investigation found Wallace was traveling southbound in a 2008 Nissan Rogue when the vehicle went off the right side of the road. Wallace then overcorrected and crossed the roadway into a ditch, where his vehicle struck several trees before coming to a rest on its roof, according to the sheriff's office.
Wallace was wearing a seatbelt at the time. Officials said speed and alcohol likely contributed to the crash. It remains under investigation.
