The victims in Saturday’s deadly collision in Topsham have been identified.
A 2020 GMC pickup truck and 2019 Volvo SUV collided about 10:38 p.m. on Route 196, near the Merrymeeting Bridge, according to the Topsham Police Department.
The preliminary investigation found that one of the vehicles crossed the centerline before the head-on collision, though police haven’t said whether the truck or SUV entered the opposite lane.
The passenger in the Volvo, 23-year-old Marcus Steinman of Topsham, was taken to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The GMC’s driver, identified Monday as 34-year-old Joseph Lemont of Bowdoin, and the Volvo’s driver, 25-year-old Lacey Wiles of Hermon, remain at Maine Medical Center in Portland. An update about their conditions wasn’t available Monday morning.
The crash remains under investigation, and Topsham police aren’t releasing more details right now.
