This crash remains under investigation by the Saco Police Department.
The legal driving age in Maine is 16, meaning that a person must be at least that old to obtain a Maine driver's license. A person may apply for and obtain a learner's permit at 15-years-old, but that requires them to have a licensed driver in the vehicle with them.
