TOWNSHIP 1, RANGE 6 (AP) — Two people were injured when a van transporting blood to Bangor from a Presque Isle blood drive struck an 800-pound moose.
Police say the van was totaled and the cow moose died during the collision at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday on Interstate 95 just north of Medway. The moose ambled into the passing lane from the woods on the left side of the road.
The blood on board was not damaged and was transferred to another van for delivery.
A calf was also spotted but was not hurt and was seen wandering back into the woods.
