A Portland man injured in a crash Tuesday on the Maine Turnpike remains in critical condition at a Portland hospital.

Mohamed was listed in critical condition Wednesday, according to a spokesperson for Maine Medical Center.
The tractor-trailer was driven by Mark Pierce, 46, of Standish. The truck is owned by Hutchins Trucking of South Portland and was hauling a loaded trailer for Hannaford Supermarkets.
