CARMEL -- A crash in Carmel shut down part of 1-95 North this afternoon.

Maine State Police received the call just after 3 p.m., reporting a single vehicle crash in the median from the northbound side of the interstate. Both lanes were initially shut down while a LifeFlight helicopter landed on the roadway.

Our reporter on scene observed a Toyota Matrix with Vermont plates and significant damage. Police confirmed that a single occupant was in the vehicle.

Our crew on scene saw the occupant extricated from the car and loaded into the helicopter for transport. Traffic returned to normal about 45 minutes after the incident.
