Two people have died in a crash in Island Falls.
On August 10, 2020, at approximately 3:30 PM, the Houlton RCC received a 911 call from a passing motorist reporting a car off the road with people trapped. Trooper Tim Saucier responded and learned the following from his subsequent investigation. 35 year old Colleen Collins was driving North on the interstate in Island Falls in a full size sport utility vehicle. Also in the vehicle was 62 year old Mary Michaud and her son 42 year old Keith Michaud both of Van Buren. Collins lost control of the SUV and traveled off into the ditch coming to rest in the trees before catching fire. Colleen Collins and Mary Michaud did not survive the crash and were pronounced deceased at the scene. Keith was transported to the Houlton Regional Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Due to the extent of the damage the make and model of the vehicle is still undetermined as well as if the occupants were wearing their seat belts.
