Limington, ME – An 85-year-old Biddeford man suffered serious injuries Friday afternoon after a three-vehicle crash at a busy Limington intersection, according to Maine State Police.
According to the Maine State Police, troopers responded at approximately 4:08 p.m. Friday, July 17, to the intersection of Routes 25 and 11 in Limington following reports of a three-vehicle collision.
Investigators said Robert Letellier, 85, of Biddeford, was driving a 1957 Ford truck when he allegedly failed to stop at a red light and entered the intersection. Police said the truck collided with a Dodge pickup driven by Michael Simpson of Limington.
