SANFORD — Two people died Sunday night in a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Grammar Road and Candlewood Lane.
Sanford Police Sgt. Craig Andersen in a statement released early Monday indicated speed may have been a factor in the crash that claimed the lives of the driver, Blake Deslauriers, 20, of Springvale and his passenger, Danielle Harrison, 37, of Sanford.
Police were called to the area at 9:14 p.m. Sunday.
Andersen said the preliminary investigation shows that the 2009 Hyundai Elantra was traveling south on Grammar Road at a high rate of speed when it left the roadway, became airborne and struck a tree before coming to rest.
Both occupants of the vehicle were deceased at the scene, said Andersen.
The investigation is ongoing.
