One person was killed after the dump truck he was driving was struck by a tractor trailer Wednesday in Stetson, officials said.

State troopers responded shortly after 1 p.m. to the collision at the intersection of Lapoint and Merrill roads, according to Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss.

The dump truck, driven by Scott Webber, 64, of Glenburn, was traveling east on Merrill Road, when a tractor trailer ran a stop sign at the Lapoint Road intersection, according to Moss.

The dump truck was struck and overturned onto the passenger side, Moss said.

“The impact caused the fully loaded tractor trailer to strike a utility pole, causing it to snap and come to rest on top of the unit,” Moss stated.

Webber died as he was being transported to the hospital, Moss said.

The tractor trailer’s driver, a 39-year-old man from Denton, Texas, was transported to Eastern Maine Medical Center with serious injuries, Moss said.

“The intersection was shut down for several hours while State Police investigated the crash and crews worked to clear the scene,” Moss said.
