A speeding motorist, who passed deputies at about 100 mph early Sunday morning, has been charged with operating after suspension, operating under the influence and criminal speed.

Wayne Rowe, 48, of Standish, was driving a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta toward Sebago Lake Village on Route 35 at 12:50 a.m. Sunday when he was spotted traveling about 100 mph in a 50 mph zone by two Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies parked at Patches Variety near the intersection of Whites Bridge Road and Route 35.

Deputy Al Winslow and Sgt. James Estabrook pursued Rowe, who continued on at the high rate of speed. Estabrook witnessed Rowe move into the northbound lane to successfully pass one vehicle and then move back into the southbound lane. When Rowe attempted to pass another vehicle he lost control of his vehicle, rolled his vehicle over twice landing upright.

Estabrook, who was about a mile behind Rowe when Rowe lost control of his vehicle, wrote in the incident report that he observed “heavy brake lights” when Rowe crashed attempting to pass a second vehicle. Watching the tail lights, Estabrook witnessed the car roll over twice coming to rest near the intersection of Busque Boulevard and Route 35, a relatively flat and straight stretch of Route 35 about halfway between Sebago Lake Village and Patches Variety.

Standish Rescue transported Rowe to Maine Medical Center where he was treated and discharged later in the day. According to Det. Keith Cook, who also responded to the accident, Rowe was summonsed for a court appearance April 24 on the three charges.

The roadway was clear at the time of the accident, Cook said. While the accident is still under investigation, Cook said high speed and alcohol, not road conditions, was the cause of the crash.

Rowe refused a blood test to determine the amount of alcohol in his system. Cook said if Rowe is found guilty, he could face a higher penalty due to resisting the test.

Rowe was also driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash. Rowe has 14 previous suspensions and one drunk driving conviction in 1998. He also has a history of at least one failure to submit to a chemical test in the past, authorities said.

“Rowe’s refusal of a blood test depicts the attitude of some drivers that they will drive no matter what condition they are in and regardless of the circumstances,” Chief Deputy Kevin Joyce said.

Joyce expressed frustration with Rowe’s excessive speed.

“His operation of the motor vehicle prior to the crash clearly showed a complete disregard for the safety of others this morning,” Joyce said.

Joyce also said Rowe’s 14 previous suspensions indicates a mindset of entitlement.

“This event exemplifies the attitude of some drivers who clearly believe that their ability to drive on Maine’s roadways is a right, not a privilege,” Joyce said.
