Two truck drivers suffered minor injuries after a crash on I-95 in Somerset County.

It happened Wednesday in the area of mile 154 southbound, near Palmyra. State police said a tractor-trailer being driven by 34-year-old Metho Nelson of New York struck another tractor-trailer being driven by 63-year-old Stewart Hallett of Mars Hill, Maine.

Neither driver was seriously injured, but heavy wreckers were brought in to remove both tractor-trailers, and the interstate was down to one lane while the scene was cleared.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is being asked to contact Maine State Police.
