The southbound Exit 8 ramp on Interstate 295 in Portland was closed for several hours Monday following a crash that injured two people.
The two-car crash occurred around 8:15 a.m. on the exit ramp that crosses back over I-295 and connects to inner Washington Avenue. The ramp was closed for a couple of hours, reopening around 1 p.m., as officers reconstructed the crash, police said.
Police say a 37-year-old Portland man driving an Infiniti G25 rear-ended a Honda Civic driven by a 52-year-old Portland woman. The Infiniti driver was ejected from his car and sustained serious injuries. He was taken to Maine Medical Center.
The woman was taken to Northern Light Mercy Hospital with minor injuries, police said.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call 207-874-8532 or 207-874-8575.
