The driver of a tractor-trailer hauling explosives that hit a guardrail in Sabattus on Tuesday was not injured.

Maine’s Department of Public Safety said 48-year-old Casey Thomas of New Hampshire was heading south in the passing lane on I-95 near mile 88. Around 12:30 p.m., Thomas ended up in the median shoulder after he says a vehicle cut in front of him. He says he wasn’t able to get back into a travel lane and struck the center guardrail.

Thomas, who was driving for Maine Drilling and Blasting, wasn’t hurt and none of the explosives he was transporting detonated.
