Crash Victims Identified

A nurse from Kennebunk, Maine, headed to work at Portsmouth Regional Hospital yesterday morning was one of two people killed in a crash on I-95 in Kittery.

Maine State Police said 64-year-old Linda Huelsman and a 55-year-old Kittery man died when a northbound tractor-trailer lost control, went through the guardrail and hit two southbound vehicles.

Huelsman was dead at the scene, the Kittery man died at the hospital and the truck driver was expected to survive.

It’s believed weather conditions were a likely factor in the crash. The speed limit at the time on the Maine Turnpike was down to 45 miles per hour and roads were slippery.
