Driver Unhurt In Truck Crash

The truck, carrying 90,000 pounds of lumber, went off I-95 near Sidney AUGUSTA — The driver of a tractor-trailer that went off Interstate 95 early Wednesday morning and lost most of a load of 90,000 pounds of lumber, some of which went through his truck’s cab inches from his head, escaped uninjured. One northbound lane of Interstate 95 near mile 115 in Augusta near the Sidney town line was closed Wednesday morning as a large crew worked to clean up the lumber and remove the crashed truck, which police said was a total loss. The closed lane reopened to traffic just after noon. The driver, John Rancourt, 32, of Jay, was evaluated by Augusta paramedics but was uninjured, much to the surprise of public safety officials. “He was, somehow, not injured at all,” Maine State Police Trooper Joseph Chretien said.
