FALMOUTH, Maine (AP) A Maine Turnpike attendant was injured by flying glass and debris from a fiery crash involving an alleged drunken driver, state police said.
John Schwabe, 46, of Westbrook, was treated at Maine Medical Center for cuts on his face and head following the crash early Thursday at his toll booth on the Falmouth spur of the turnpike, officials said.
Police say the vehicle that crashed was being operated by 22-year-old Ethan Chase of Durham. Chase wasn’t injured but he was charged with aggravated OUI.
The toll booth was heavily damaged but the crash did not affect the high-speed toll lanes.
The accident remains under investigation.
