Media summary: A deputy was parked on Route 4 when a 2006 4-door Honda Accord went by at about 2:50 a.m. at a high rate of speed, passing other vehicles. The deputy attempted to catch up with the car with lights and siren on, but it failed to pull over. The car continued south and nearly struck a Maine State Police trooper's vehicle, which was traveling north. Before the deputy or trooper could catch the speeding car, its driver lost control by North Shore Drive and the car went off the east side of the highway, striking and breaking a utility pole, then rolled over. Passenger Julie Beaucage was killed, and the driver, Spencer Dowd, 19, and passenger Keegan Pelletier, 19, were trapped in the vehicle injured and had to be extricated by Turner Fire Department.
