CANAAN, Maine (AP) - A 34-year-old man is dead following a head-on crash Saturday on U.S. Route 2 in the town of Canaan, the Somerset County sheriff’s department said.
The crash occurred at about 6:50 a.m. when a pickup truck being driven by Adam Durant, of Levant, crossed the center of the roadway into the path of an eastbound pulp truck, the department said. Durant was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the pulp truck and a passenger in Durant’s vehicle suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but it appears that driver fatigue on behalf of Durant contributed to the cause of the crash, the sheriff’s department said.
