DYER BROOK, Maine (AP) A driver was killed when a flat tire caused his dump truck to leave Interstate 95 and crash into trees, Maine State Police said.

The interstate was restricted to one lane for a time. The crash remains under investigation, though police said speed does not appear to be a factor.
