A Woolwich woman was hurt and a Canaan man hauling milk in his tanker truck was killed Saturday when the man’s truck collided with her car that had spun out of control on Interstate 295 in Freeport.  Killed was Richard A. Clark, 70, who maneuvered his truck to avoid crushing the car that had spun out in front of him.

Both vehicles struck the median guardrail and Clark's tanker overturned, coming to rest in the median. Clark was killed instantly. The driver of the car, Ashley Williams, 27, was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with minor injuries.

The accident was reported at about 10:15 a.m. Jan. 14. Thousands of gallons of milk spilled from the tanker as it lay on its side.  Some of the cargo was offloaded before the tanker was put upright and removed from the crash site about 4 p.m., when all lanes reopened.  Troopers continue to investigate the crash and have not determined why Williams lost control of her Toyota Corolla, which was demolished. Both north and southbound lanes were reduced to one lane during the six hours that the crash was investigated and equipment was brought to the scene to remove the tractor trailer.
