YORK, Maine — Maine State Police are cleaning up after a tractor-trailer loaded with 48,000 pounds of Poland Spring water crashed on Interstate 95 south in York.
The driver, Francisco Reyes-Rodriquez of New Jersey, said he felt a mechanical issue with the vehicle when it went from the middle lane into the center guardrail and flipped on its side at about 2:50 a.m. Monday.
Reyes-Rodriquez suffered a minor cut on his head; a passenger in the sleeper berth wasn't hurt.
Investigators determined the vehicle had no mechanical issues; they believe the cause of the crash was likely driver fatigue.
Reyes-Rodriquez was given a summons on log book violations.
Both the south- and north-bound passing lanes were expected to be closed for several hours while the tractor trailer and cargo are removed.
