Maine State Police

Sate Police are marking their 100 years of protecting Maine with new looks, from their cruisers, to their uniforms.

Given the year and all of the things that have happened since the start, it's always nice to find a Maine story that has an amazing ending. This story you're about to hear is no exception to that rule. Yesterday (September 21st), Maine Sate Police were called by the York County Sheriff's Office to assist in locating a kindergartener that had walked off into the woods at recess and had gotten lost.

Sure. We all speed once in a while. But 76 miles over the limit is bound to get someone's attention, like the Maine State Police.

Cars...they can cost so much to get ready for a Maine State Inspection, but for safety's sake, it is something that must be done. But yet, some Mainers will do anything to get out of paying for repairs to make their vehicle safe for themselves, you and anyone driving around them.

All six New England state's highway safety officials and State Police are launching the region's first-ever coordinated "crackdown" on speeders starting today.

A woman from Clifton is the victim of a single car crash early this morning in the town of Mariaville. Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland says the woman failed to negotiate a curve on Route 181.

State Police on Monday said a Carmel man caused the fatal, head-on crash that claimed the lives of two men Sunday night on Interstate 95 in Hampden.

The southbound lane of Interstate 95 is shutdown near the Coldbrook Road exit in Hampden, and will be for the foreseeable future, as State Police investigate a fatal crash. The crash was reported around 7 this evening and several units have responded to the scene.

The names of those involved in a fatal crash last night in Newburgh are released by police. State Police say a 24 year old man from Albion was killed when he apparently lost control of his vehicle last night on Route 9 last night in the snowy conditions.

Two accidents last night on Maine roads have resulted in fatalities. Police in Old town report a 54 year old woman was killed when she was struck from behind while walking on Poplar Street around 6:30 last night. Police say the driver of the SUV that struck the woman stopped immediately and tried to render assistance while calling police.
