Serious Crash On 395 In Bangor Friday Sends 2 To The Hospital

Maine State Police are looking into a crash that took place on 395 in Bangor Friday night, sending  2 people to the hospital with serious injuries.

Authorities say a 1992 Mazda Miata, driven by 23-year-old Devon Ireland of Bangor, launched over the guardrail, landing in the middle of both eastbound lanes, after Ireland attempted to make a turn and lost control of the vehicle. The crash happened in the area of mile marker 1 on I-395, just before 9 PM.

"The passenger, 23-year-old Lauren McCann of Bangor, who does not appear to have been wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and sustained life-threatening injuries. Ireland also suffered significant injuries in the crash. Speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors."

Ireland and McCann were both taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Their conditions are unknown at this time.
