Police Identified Victims of Fiery Central Maine Crash

Earlier this month, we told you that two people had been killed in a fiery crash in Readfield, Maine.

We now know the identities of the victims.

According to a recent article on the KJ website, 25-year-old Carl H. Hall, of Mount Vernon, and 28-year-old Emily R. Ouellette, of Auburn, were those killed in that crash.

The pair died when the Ford Flex SUV that Hall was driving left the road, collided with a tree, and burst into flames.  That crash happened just before 1 a.m. on April 21st on Main Street in Readfield.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the crash, but they do believe speed was a factor. Shortly before the crash, a Maine State Trooper spotted the vehicle traveling in excess of 70 miles per hour. The trooper reportedly came across the crash as they were looking for the speeding vehicle.

Our thoughts go out to all those involved in this tragedy.

As we learn more, we will pass it on to you.

Sadly, speeding can often be a contributing factor in fatal crashes.  According to the NSC Facts website, about 29% of fatal crashes in 2022 were caused by people driving above the speed limit.  That equates to over 12,000 deaths being caused by speeding.
