A Maine man paralyzed in a crash two years ago is suing a Bangor hospital, where he claims a doctor prescribed him medication that caused him to fall asleep at the wheel.

According to the Bangor Daily News, 60-year-old Jeffrey Quimby of Winterport and his wife claim a doctor at St. Joseph was negligent when he prescribed four medications, without informing him that one of them could cause drowsiness.

Quimby was paralyzed after he fell asleep at the wheel and struck a utility pole on his way home from the hospital in September of 2020.

A spokesperson for the hospital has not commented on the lawsuit.
