NORRIDGEWOCK — Early on Wednesday, a car traveling northward on Madison Road crossed over the centerline, starting a multiple-vehicle crash.

Two drivers were taken to Redington-Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan with minor injuries, according to a news release from the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred about 6:58 a.m., starting after the car driven by Shaughn Cargill, 40, of South China, strayed from its lane and struck a southbound loaded log truck owned by Smart Trucking, of Sebec. After the initial crash, Cargill’s car struck another southbound vehicle before coming to a stop in the northbound lane.

Cargill, of South China, was driving a 2012 Toyota Scion. The log truck was driven by Skowhegan resident Andrew Smart. Raelynne Knight, 53, of Anson, had been behind the wheel of the second car, a 2012 Hyundai Sonata, which Cargill’s car hit.

According to the news release, two additional vehicles became involved in the incident when Kayla Holt, 27, driving a 2012 Chevrolet Impala, rear-ended a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Mark Campbell, 58, that had slowed down for the scene. Both Holt and Campbell are from Anson.

Cargill and Holt suffered minor injuries.
