DRESDEN
The Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office has identified those involved in Friday’s fatal car crash on Route 27 in Dresden.
The crash involved a 1995 Toyota Camry operated by Carolyn G. Blouin, 75, of Rockville Connecticut, and a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu operated by Patrick J. Shorey, 24, of Augusta. Blouin died at the scene of the crash.
A passenger in Blouin’s vehicle has been identified as her husband, Charles J. Blouin, 81, also of Rockville Connecticut.
Investigators have determined that all those involved were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash but still are working to determine why Shorey’s southbound vehicle entered the northbound travel lane and struck the vehicle being operated by Blouin, according to a Lincoln County Sheriff ’s press release.
Shorey and Blouin were transported from the scene to Maine General Hospital in Augusta with serious injuries. No further information on their conditions was available Monday.
Investigators will be working to determine if vehicle defects, speed, alcohol, drugs or possibly distraction were factors in this crash. Once the investigation has been completed it will be forwarded to the Wiscasset District Attorney’s Office for review.
It is expected that no additional information will be released until after the Wiscasset District Attorney’s Office has completed this review.
