Carmel, ME : About 30 cars involved, multiple injuries in I-95 crash on Tuesday, 7th January, 2020

A chain-reaction crash involving more than two dozen vehicles on Interstate 95 northbound in Carmel on Tuesday morning may have been caused by “blinding sun,” the Maine State Police said.

About 30 cars – including one state police cruiser – were involved in the pileup that injured 13 people and closed I-95 northbound in Penobscot County for more than three hours. Five years ago, more than 100 cars were involved in a similar chain-reaction pileup on the same stretch of interstate south of Bangor.A LifeFlight helicopter flew one man with a serious injury to a local hospital, police said.

Thirteen other people were taken to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, though none of the injuries is believed to be life-threatening, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said Tuesday night.
