1 dead in crash at West Gardiner toll plaza

Nov. 21—A person was killed on Saturday afternoon when the vehicle they were driving crashed into the West Gardiner Toll Plaza on I-95 in Litchfield.

The driver — who has not been identified — was southbound when they crashed into a guardrail, causing them to redirect onto the highway and strike the center pylon at the plaza, according to Shannon Moss, public information officer for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

The car burst into flames and the driver died at the scene, she said.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy this week to determine the driver's identity.
