A man who was working as a delivery driver for Dunkin’ Donuts had to be extricated from a truck after authorities say he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed in Standish early Sunday morning.
Steven Robert Clark, 53, of Milford, New Hampshire, was traveling northbound on Chadbourne Road just after 3:30 a.m. when he crashed the box truck he was driving, according to a news release from Capt. Craig Smith of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
Clark had been making food deliveries at a nearby Dunkin’ store before he fell asleep at the wheel, investigators said. His truck left the roadway, struck an embankment, rolled over and came to rest in the northbound lane near the intersection of Chadbourne and Whites Bridge roads. Clark became trapped inside the truck after the crash.
Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies and Standish firefighters extricated Clark, who was transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland with non-life-threatening injuries.
Traffic on Chadbourne Road was interrupted for several hours after the crash.
Speed and alcohol do not appear to have been factors in the wreck, the sheriff’s office said.
