STANDISH – Seven people were injured in a two-car accident in Standish on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, a Chevrolet Suburban driven by Theresa Michaud, 42, of Scarborough, was struck broadside when pulling onto Harmon’s Beach Road by Randy Baldwin, of Naples, who was driving his truck north on Richville Road (Route 114).
