Three vehicles were involved in a collision in the vicinity of Moose Crossing Garden Center on Route 1 in Waldoboro on the evening of Feb. 24.
Charles Kimball, 83, of Waldoboro, driving a 2008 Buick sedan, was parked in the southbound breakdown lane facing north to collect his mail, according to Waldoboro Police Chief John Lash.
Kimball attempted to cross both lanes of traffic to enter his driveway when he crossed into the lane of Gregory Stiner, 45, of Thomaston, who was driving a 2019 Ford pickup south, Lash said.
The vehicles of Kimball and Stiner collided, sending Kimball’s vehicle into the southbound lane, where it struck a 2016 Toyota sedan driven by Dawn Dreyer, 79, of Bath.
Kimball’s vehicle came to a stop in the middle of the road, Stiner’s vehicle continued off the road, and Dreyer was able to pull over and out of the roadway, Lash said.
The crash happened shortly before 5 p.m. Glare was listed as the contributing circumstance in the crash, Lash said.
All three drivers were checked out by Waldoboro Emergency Medical Services at the scene, Waldoboro Fire Chief Paul Smeltzer said. No one was transported to the hospital.
The fire department rerouted northbound Route 1 traffic onto Old Route 1 while Hillside Collision Center, of Waldoboro, removed the vehicles from the scene. Both lanes reopened at 6:15 p.m., Smeltzer said.
