The truck driver involved in an accident that left a state police detective dead in 2019 admitted to his role in the death on Friday.
According to the Bangor Daily News, 55-year-old Scott Willett of Patten has agreed to pay a $15,000 fine and will lose his driver’s license for six months. He will not serve jail time.
Detective Ben Campbell was killed in April of 2019 when two wheels fell off Willet’s truck on I-95 in Hampden. One of the wheels struck Campbell, who was helping a driver on the side of the highway during a snowstorm.
Willett, the truck’s driver and owner, admitted to several motor vehicle violations.
