Maine State Police Trooper Shawn Porter said George Grotten, 73, of Montville, was behind the wheel of his 1990 GMC truck around 2:50 p.m. Saturday when he pulled onto Route 3.
Grotten was entering the highway near the 10-4 Diner. When Grotten pulled out, he reportedly drove into the path of an Irving oil tanker truck.
The Irving vehicle, a 2005 Freightliner, was driven by Francis Paradis, 65, of Northport. Paradis was traveling east, Porter said, while it appeared Grotten was going to be heading west.
Porter said emergency personnel believed Grotten sustained a broken arm and other injuries and Paradis had a broken hip. Porter said the LifeFlight helicopter was called, but could not respond because of weather conditions.
