WELLS (AP) — Authorities in Maine have identified two victims killed in an accident on the Maine Turnpike in Wells as a 57- year-old man and a 5-yearold boy.
Police say the car in which Earl Gray, of Waterboro, was driving and Wyatt Frost, of Lyman, was a passenger was hit from behind by a truck on Friday afternoon.
Police said Gray was a volunteer driver with York County Community Action and had provided transportation to the boy for a couple of years. The two died when a box truck struck the rear of Gray’s car and then landed on top of it.
Police said the driver of the box truck that struck Gray’s car was 56-year-old John Kamau, of Lowell, Massachusetts. Kamau was delivering mail from New Hampshire to Portland.
