Two passing vehicles stopped on the median shoulder to assist the driver of the crashed vehicle. While those individuals were outside their vehicles, another vehicle traveling northbound struck the two stopped vehicles pushing one of them into the original vehicle in the median. The striking vehicle then became fully engulfed in flames. All individuals involved were able to exit their vehicles safely, and no injuries were reported.

While Troopers were responding to the reports, additional information was received indicating a crash had occurred involving the same vehicle and a tractor-trailer. The preliminary investigation determined that a 2013 Chevrolet Volt, operated by 33-year-old Juan Guallpa of Lempster, New Hampshire, was stationary in the northbound travel lane when it was struck from behind by a 2021 Freightliner. The impact pushed the Chevrolet Volt into the median.

The tractor-trailer also entered the median, where it rolled onto its passenger side and came to rest across both southbound lanes of travel. Guallpa was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the tractor-trailer sustained minor injuries and was transported to Sebasticook Valley Hospital for treatment. At this time, it remains unknown why Guallpa’s vehicle was stopped in the travel lane.

Both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 95 were shut down following the crash, and traffic was diverted. The northbound lanes were reopened at approximately 3:00 a.m. Southbound traffic remains reduced to one lane as crews continue working to remove the tractor-trailer. Cleanup and removal efforts are expected to take approximately eight hours.
