Maine State Police are investigating a fatal crash on Interstate 95 north in Saco that killed a 36-year-old Manchester, New Hampshire man early Saturday morning.
Police say an SUV driven by Felix Melo, 36, rear-ended an SUV driven by Yara Schneider, 42, of Lowell, Massachusetts, around 4:45 a.m. on Nov. 14. The collision happened in the center lane of the northbound turnpike.
After the initial collision, Melo's SUV spun and came to rest on the roadway, according to state police. Schneider's vehicle left the roadway into a wooded area off the highway, where it rolled onto its side.
Melo was pronounced dead at the scene. Schneider and her passenger were treated at the scene and released.
The crash remains under investigation, and state police said the story would be updated as additional information becomes available.
