TURNER — Police say a 46-year-old Minot woman has died in a car crash on Route 4 in Turner.

Police said Susan Fortier was turning left onto Route 4 in her Buick sedan Friday afternoon when she was hit broadside by a truck.

Police told the Bangor Daily News that the truck driver was passing a tractor-trailer as it slowed to turn. They say the tractor-trailer turning prevented Fortier and the truck driver from seeing each other.

The truck driver was treated at the scene for a leg injury. Fortier died at the scene.

Maine State Police reconstructed the crash.
