MSP Investigates Wrong Way Driver on Interstate 295

On Sunday, July 28, 2024, at approximately 3:40 AM, the Augusta Regional Communications Center took multiple calls of a wrong way driver going northbound in the southbound lanes of I-295 in Falmouth at mile 10. Troop I Troopers responded as well as local law enforcement partners. The vehicle, a 2012 Ford Fusion made it to mile 22 in Freeport when it started to drive in the construction zone and landed in between the concrete construction barriers (where workers would be if they were working at that time).  The driver, 28-year-old Tatiana Bisimwa of South Portland, was issued a criminal summons for Driving to Endanger and released. An adverse driving report will also be submitted to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The vehicle was towed from the scene. There were no injuries or subsequent crashes related to this event.
