A southbound pickup hauling a camper swerved to avoid a post separating the southbound lanes of Interstate 295 in Portland Wednesday and crashed.
State Police say the pickup, driven by Stephen Sutmire, 64, of Pennsylvania was headed south just before noon when he swerved to avoid one of the breakaway posts north of Tukeys Bridge, which are in place as part of the center-lane closure related to construction further south.

Nobody was hurt but the large camper was badly damaged as it rolled over and onto the median guard rail, said Trooper Lawrence Rose.
The passing lane was closed for two hours leading to traffic delays.
