"A preliminary investigation shows that Samantha Tupper, 34, was driving on I-95 southbound and failed to stop at a posted stop sign, instead attempting to enter the passing lane. While Tupper's minivan was in that lane, it collided with a tractor-trailer, which sent Tupper's vehicle into a construction zone. The minivan hit three DOT workers, Maine State Police in a press release."
"According to Maine State Police, two of the workers, James Brown, 60, and Dwayne Campbell, 51, were "propelled" over the bridge and onto Kennedy Memorial Drive below. The pair, both residents of Waterville, were pronounced dead at the scene. The third victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, said State Police. Tupper had two children in the minivan at the time of the crash, who were unharmed."
