Just
after 5 p.m. on Monday, July 17th, Deputies from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to
a call of a two vehicle head-on crash on Rt. 1(Atlantic Highway) in Warren near
Sandy Shores Rd.
According
to witness statements, Joseph Kennedy, was in his vehicle stopped facing
northbound waiting to turn left in traffic when April Pease, 28 of Pittston
operating a 2006 Chevrolet sedan was unable to stop in time travelling in the
same direction. Pease swerved to the
right to avoid hitting Kennedy from behind and lost control of her
vehicle. She swerved towards the ditch
and apparently over-corrected, going around Kennedy’s vehicle and proceeded in
to the southbound lane striking a 2011 Honda sedan almost head-on. Richard Zauft, 63, of Sudbury, Massachusetts
was travelling southbound and could not react in time to avoid being hit by
Pease.
Zauft
and a passenger in Zauft’s car along with April Pease sustained non-life
threatening injuries and were transported to Pen-Bay Medical Center. Pease was issued a summons for an illegal
pass.
Assistance was provided by Knox County Regional
Communications Center, Warren Fire and Ambulance Dept., Waldoboro Ambulance,
and Thomaston Ambulance.
