A Lewiston man was hospitalized following a crash on the Maine Turnpike early Sunday.
Maine State Police responded around 2:38 a.m. to the southbound lane near mile marker 55 in Falmouth, where they found two damaged vehicles in the median.
One driver, Patrick Blair, 61, of Lewiston, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Maine Medical Center, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.
The other driver, Joshua Uwimana, 30, also of Lewiston, fled the scene on foot, according to Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss. Uwimana showed signs of intoxication and was arrested.
The crash shut down the turnpike’s southbound lanes for several hours, with traffic diverted at Exit 63.
The Kennebunk Police Department assisted state police with the crash reconstruction.
