Kennebec man dies in crash
From Wire and staff reports
Morning Sentinel
STOCKTON SPRINGS — Two Maine Maritime Academy students, including one from Mount Vernon, are dead after their car collided head-on with a pickup truck on Route One in Stockton Springs.
The driver, 20-year-old Richard Coakley, of Mount Vernon, and 21-year-old Matthew Felton, of Merrimack, N.H., apparently were returning to school in Castine when the crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. Sunday, said Trooper Corey Smith.
Both students were killed instantly.
Smith said 53-year-old Andrew Bradford, of Kennebunk, was behind the wheel of the pickup when it crossed the center line and struck the car. Bradford, a Maine Maritime alumnus who was returning home after attending an alumni event at the school Saturday night, was being treated at Eastern Maine Medical Center for multiple injuries.
Blood-alcohol tests have been administered to both drivers.
Smith said traffic was reduced to one lane around the crash site for six hours as troopers and a deputy from the Waldo County Sheriff's Department investigated the crash.
