State Police say a man from Oakland was killed in a crash on Route 3 in Liberty during this morning's snow storm. According to a press release from police, the two-vehicle crash took place in front of Lake St. George State Park about 9:30 a.m. The two trucks involved were a pickup and a box truck.
William Chadwick, 55, was killed when the box truck crossed the centerline and collided with his GMC Sierra head-on, police say. Both trucks came to rest in the ditch, on the lake side of Route 3.
The Freightliner box truck was being driven by 20-year-old Dusan Dokic of Spanaway, Wash., who was not injured.
Although the crash took place during a snowstorm, Maine Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said troopers have not determined the cause of the crash and will continue to investigate why the larger truck crossed into the opposite lane.
