Portland, ME – A crash on Interstate 295 in Portland late Friday night led to an OUI arrest and several hours of traffic disruption, according to Maine State Police.
The incident happened September 19, 2025, at about 10:37 p.m. when a South Portland officer spotted a Ford F-250 traveling northbound at high speed. Moments later, police say the truck, driven by 25-year-old Taylor Delano of Wiscasset, struck an Acura traveling in the same direction.
