The snow pack has iced the roads since early this morning, Feb. 7, and all day there have been crashes, most of them in Camden. One Cadillac got hung up on a rock, another vehicle slid into a tree on the Barnestown Road, and this afternoon, a small sedan went down an embankment on Route 105 near the Bog Bridge and rolled several times before coming to a rest.

The day began with a light snowfall, and the first crash occurred in Camden on Molyneaux Road, at approximately 7 a.m., when a car slipped off the road. There were no injuries reported there, and little but minor damage to the car.

The same situation occurred later in the day on the Barnestown Road when a car slid off the road and into a tree. The crash caused minor damages to the car and there were no injuries.

At approximately 10 a.m., a driver heading into Camden along Mountain Street lost traction in the snow and veered into the opposite lane.

According to Camden Police Detective Curt Andrick, the driver, Sandra Filippi, of Woodcliff, N.J., lost control of her 2014 Cadillac and as the sedan crossed the road, it landed next to High Mountain Hall, lodging itself on a rock.

Steve and Jackie Laite, owners of Camden Exxon, arrived to help. Steve Laite lifted the front end of the car, pushed its rear end backward, and eased the Cadillac off the rock. 

“It took quite a bit of maneuvering,” said Andrick.

Andrick said the undercarriage sustained approximately $1,000 in damage. There were no charges.

By 2:45 p.m., another two crashes were receiving emergency response attention, one on the Hope Road (Route 105) in Camden where a car slid of the road, and another crash in St. George, on the Port Clyde Road, where a vehicle reportedly slid into a house.

The Hope Road crash occurred when the driver, Frances Killea, 30, of Appleton, lost control of her sedan after driving too fast for the slippery conditions, said Andrick.

The car slid off the road and rolled several times. The driver was wearing a seatbelt and her airbags deployed, said Andrick.

North East Mobile Health Services transported her to Pen Bay Medical Center with a head laceration. Camden Fire Dept. responded, as did Camden Exxon, which towed the vehicle back to Camden.
