Richmond

On Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at approximately 3:35 p.m. Maine State Police responded to an incident on 295 southbound in Richmond at Exit 43. Upon arrival, Troopers discovered a Freeport man had jumped off the 295 overpass striking the windshield of a tractor-trailer that was traveling southbound on 295. The driver of the tractor-trailer was able to stop the truck at the entry of the Exit 43 southbound onramp. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the tractor-trailer who is from Pennsylvania was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Both lanes of traffic southbound were shut down temporarily. Both lanes have since reopened.
