3 Car Crash On The Highway In Pittsfield, Maine Delays Rush Hour

Authorities are reminding folks who drive to make sure they stay distraction-free after a triple crash occurred, just before rush hour, on the interstate near Pittsfield.

According to the Department of Public Safety, State Troopers were called to Pittsfield in an area along the northbound lane of Interstate 95, just after 4 PM.

"A tractor-trailer truck, operated by Serhii Milchecko, 47, of Nova Scotia was traveling in the travel lane and was rear-ended by a Kia sedan, operated by a 17-year-old from Winslow. A Chevrolet Malibu, operated by 35-year-old Desiree Chenette, of Lincoln then struck the rear of the Kia. Both sedans sustained significant damage."

State Police say that the drivers of both cars sustained only minor injuries and were allowed to leave the scene after being checked out by Emergency Services personnel.
