I-295 Wrong Way Driver
From the desk of Shannon Moss
A Westbrook Man was arrested for OUI after driving the wrong way on Interstate 295
At approximately 9:20 this morning Maine State Police Troop B received a report of a vehicle going northbound in the southbound travel lane of Interstate 295 in Portland.
Troopers from Troops B, G, the Portland Police Department, and Maine Marine Patrol responded to the area.
The vehicle traveled North for approximately 5 miles to include passing a marked state police cruiser with blue lights on that had been slowing traffic in the southbound lanes. The vehicle eventually pulled into a cross-over upon seeing a Maine Marine Patrol truck with its lights on. The driver of the vehicle, Eric Page, 30, of Westbrook, was arrested and charged with Operating Under the influence and Driving to Endanger.
Page’s blood-alcohol level was more than 3 times the legal limit.
If anyone has any video or witness the incident they are asked to contact Trooper James Leonard at 207-624-7076
