Standish Crash - Cumberland County Sheriff's Office


Deputies say alcohol and speed appear to be factors in a single-vehicle crash in Standish Sunday that left a 26-year-old man with injuries.

Black was taken to Maine Medical Center with injuries, and Bonny Eagle Road was shut down for about 4 hours while deputies cleared the scene and CMP worked to fix the power lines.
The crash remains under investigation by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
