Clinton, ME : Two teens, 12-year-old killed in Clinton crash on Sunday, 9th February, 2020

Two teenagers and a 12-year-old girl were killed Sunday morning when the car they were passengers in slammed into a tree on the Hinckley Road in Clinton, Maine State Police said.

Thomas Porfirio, 15, Emily Baker, 14, and her younger sister, Ashlin Baker, all of Clinton, died at the scene, according to Clinton Police Chief Stanley W. Bell.

The victims were students at Lawrence High School and Lawrence Junior High School in Fairfield, according to School Administrative District 49 Superintendent Roberta Hersom.State police spokesman Steve McCausland said that Nevaeh Wilson, 12, of Clinton was injured along with the driver, a 16-year-old Clinton boy. His name was being withheld Sunday as investigators and the district attorney’s office reviewed the crash investigation. Wilson and the boy were being treated at Maine Medical Center in Portland for injuries that were not life-threatening.

McCausland said the driver did not have a driver’s license, a fact that could result in charges being filed against him by the DA’s Office.


“The cause of the crash, the specifics of what may have led to the crash, are all things that we continue to work on,” McCausland said Sunday night, adding that the Clinton Police Department is investigating where the youths had come from and where they were headed so early on a Sunday morning.
