Semi Overturns In I-95 Rest Stop Accident

State police say the driver of a tractor trailer that crashed at a Kennebunk rest stop Monday morning likely fell asleep before the accident.

In a news release Monday afternoon, state police said the truck struck a sign and two light posts before it overturned in the northbound service plaza off I-95.

The driver of the truck, 67-year-old Paul Comeau of Leeds, was taken to Southern Maine Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Comeau was driving the truck for Chapman Trucking of Auburn. It was hauling crushed glass, which spilled onto the parking lot.

The truck slid about 100 feet and came within inches of striking a motor home, which was occupied by Bonnie and Kerry Bowden of Belmont. The couple escaped unhurt but a Jeep their motorhome was towing suffered minor damage.

Comeau will likely face charges related to the accident, the release said.
