From Wire and staff reports
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.
There has been no decision made whether charges may be lodged and Smith's final crash report will be forwarded to the district attorney's office for review, once it is completed.
