Two accidents that happened 11 miles apart at the same time Tuesday morning temporarily closed parts of Interstate 95 between Sidney and Waterville.
Katharine England, spokesperson for Maine State Police, said in an email Tuesday morning that the agency responded to the two separate incidents around 7:30 a.m.
In Waterville, a trooper from Troop C came upon a crash near the southbound on-ramp at the mile 130 interchange.
The investigation revealed that Kevin Swift, 29, of Whitefield attempted to pass a vehicle operated by Andrei Llantro, 19, of Waterville as he yielded to oncoming traffic while entering the interstate. Swift passed Llantro’s vehicle and struck another vehicle, operated by Margeret Thomas, 34, of Winslow, who was traveling southbound.
