Police say one man was killed. He was a passenger in the car. Another man, the driver, was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with non-life threatening injuries.
Both are believed to be from outside Maine.
Police say initial indications are speed is a factor as the car struck the median guardrail and then crossed the northbound lanes and slammed into a group of trees off the breakdown lane.
Two of the three northbound lanes remain open.
