From The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office:
On Sunday, October 12, at 6:09 PM the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a two-vehicle head-on collision on U.S. Route 1 near the intersection of the southern entrance to the Weston Road. A 2018 Ford F-150, traveling south on U.S. Route 1, crossed over the centerline into the southbound lane and collided with a 2007 Toyota 4Runner. The pickup truck careened off the road. The Toyota was spun around coming to rest in the southbound breakdown lane with extensive damage. The Toyota was operated by Deborah Webster, age 71, of Round Pond, ME. She sustained serious injuries and needed to be extracted from the vehicle. She was subsequently transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland by Life Flight. The Ford pickup was operated by Porter Sickels, age 33, Biddeford. He sustained minor injuries. He was taken to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick and released. He was subsequently arrested for Aggravated Operating Under the Influence with Serious Bodily Injury, a felony. He is currently being held at Two Bridges Regional Jail on $10,000 cash bail. He will be arraigned later this week. Sagadahoc County Sergeant Matt Sharpe is investigating the crash which is being reconstructed by members of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office.
