A Lewiston man was killed early Sunday morning in Readfield when he drove off the road and struck several trees.
Lt. Aaron Turcotte, a Maine State Police troop commander, said Steven Gregoire, 43, likely fell asleep while driving his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee near 212 Chimney Road, causing the car to drift off the shoulder. Turcotte said an initial investigation showed Gregoire was killed instantly.
Maine State Police troopers were called to the scene around 12:45 a.m. Sunday.
State police asked anyone with information about the crash to call 207-624-7076.
