Fatality Crash - Saco Police


One person is dead after the SUV they were driving hit a pickup truck and then hit a dump truck in Saco Thursday afternoon.

Officers say the SUV was traveling southbound on Route 1 Portland Road and Waterfall Drive when it crossed the center line and hit the northbound pickup truck. They say the SUV continued traveling almost 1,000 feet further in the wrong direction and hit the dump truck.
