Corporal Jeff Taylor responded to a fatal motor vehicle crash on Ayers Junction Road in Pembroke involving a 2009 Toyota Camry, operated by Hardy Preston (58) of Edmunds Township and a 2003 GMC Sonoma, operated by Russell Kirshman (17) of Marion Township. Preston was deceased at the scene and Kirshman was transported to Calais Regional Hospital for minor injuries. Kirshman was traveling in the westbound lane when he crossed the centerline and struck Preston head-on. Distracted driving and driving too fast for conditions appeared to be factors in the crash.  Sergeant Jeff Ingemi, Border Patrol, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Baileyville Police Department and Pleasant Point Police Department assisted along with Pembroke Fire, Dennysville Fire and Rescue, Calais Ambulance, and Lyon’s Towing.
