GRAND ISLE — Police say a 56-year-old northern Maine woman was killed when she lost control of her car on a snow-covered road and skidded into the path of an oncoming truck.

Maine State Police say Rachel Gauvin, of Hamlin, was killed shortly before 11 a.m. Friday when she lost control on Route 1A in Grand Isle and collided with a tractor-trailer driven by 65-year-old Frank Guptill, of Waldoboro.

Police say Guptill was unable to avoid Gauvin’s car, with both vehicles striking a guardrail before the truck crushed Gauvin’s car. Gauvin died from her injuries at the scene.

Officials say Guptill’s truck then continued off the roadway and struck a telephone pole, bringing down power lines and damaging a local home.
