The driver was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland following a single-car crash on Interstate 295 in Yarmouth on Tuesday afternoon.
Rich C. Kindelan, Yarmouth’s deputy fire chief and emergency management agency director, said a vehicle carrying two people hit a guardrail on the southbound side of Interstate 295, just beyond Exit 15 in Yarmouth, around 12:23 p.m.
Photographs of the crash, which were taken by Yarmouth Fire-Rescue Department Lt. Sean Holshouser, show that the end of the metal guardrail sliced through the vehicle’s engine compartment and shattered the front windshield on the passenger side. The vehicle, a Ford Taurus wagon, was destroyed.
The passenger refused medical treatment while the driver was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.
The cause of the crash, which is being handled by the Maine State Police, remains under investigation.
