FREEPORT – A Gorham man was killed in a motor vehicle crash Thursday night on Interstate 295 in Freeport.

Daniel Cressey Sr., 78, was driving the wrong way in the southbound lane just after 7 p.m. when he collided with a car driven by Mary Warner, 58, of Holden, according to a spokesman from the Maine Department of Public Safety.

Troopers continue to investigate how Cressey ended up driving in the wrong lane and suspect he entered the interstate from Mallet Drive in Freeport and then drove north for about two miles in the southbound lane, avoiding collisions with several other vehicles until the crash.

Warner is being treated at Maine Medical Center, the spokesman said.
