With the help of local emergency responders, authorities rerouted traffic from the Bar Mills Rd. area, and shut the roadway down so they could reconstruct what happened and clean the scene of the debris.

Maine State Police say they are still conducting their investigation into what may have caused the vehicle to leave the road.
