Two Crashes in Scarborough Leave One Dead, Several Injured

Scarborough, Maine – Two separate motor‑vehicle accidents on Tuesday afternoon resulted in the death of one person and injuries to several others. Authorities said both incidents are being investigated.

The first crash, which occurred at about 11:40 a.m., involved 36‑year‑old Emily Doyon of Windham. Doyon was turning left onto Route 1 from a parking lot when she was struck by a vehicle driven by 25‑year‑old Joshua Bath of Arundel. The collision severed Doyon’s life; she was pronounced dead at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Bath was treated on the scene, and a passenger in his car was transported to the same hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries.

A portion of Route 1 between Route 701 and Pleasant Hill Road remained closed later that afternoon as police and traffic crews cleared the scene.

An hour earlier, a second collision on Pine Point Road had involved a cyclist and a car. Carol Rocchini, 63, of New Jersey, was driving when she struck 66‑year‑old Nancy Thiele, a cyclist from Nevada, in front of the Clambake Seafood Restaurant. Rocchini then continued on East Grand Avenue toward Old Orchard Beach, where her car hit a pickup truck driven by 63‑year‑old Louis Baker of Vermont. After the collision with the truck, Rocchini’s vehicle came to a stop beside a wooden fence.

Thiele and Rocchini were taken to Maine Medical Center, both with injuries that were not considered life‑threatening. Baker and his passenger were treated at the scene and released. The stretch of East Grand Avenue at Pine Point Road was temporarily closed but has since reopened.

Both the Route 1 and Pine Point Road incidents remain under investigation by the Scarborough Police Department. No additional information has been released at this time.
