A Jefferson man was killed Wednesday evening in a crash in Chelsea.
Kevin Martin, 28, was driving a 2013 Ford Focus east on Togus Road about 6:50 p.m. when he passed another vehicle at a high speed as he approached a knoll, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
As he came over the knoll, Martin swerved to avoid a car pulling into a driveway, losing control of the Ford Focus. He crossed the centerline and struck a telephone pole before rolling over and coming to a rest in a ditch on the opposite side of the road, Moss said Thursday morning.
Martin died at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
