WALDOBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Knox County Sheriff's Department says a woman has been charged with operating under the influence after an early Sunday morning head-on crash.

Knox County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Tim Carroll says Jillian Richards, 24-years-old of Waldoboro, was traveling south on Route 1, when her vehicle crossed the center line. Carroll says Richards struck a truck, head-on, being operated by John Engwer, 53-years-old, of Wrentham, Massachusetts.

Carroll says Richards likely fell asleep at the wheel immediately before the crash. Officials say Richards told them she was returning from a methadone clinic prior to the accident.

Officials report Richards was flown by LifeFlight to Central Maine Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Engwer was transported to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport with minor injuries.

Today, Congressman Bruce Poliquin spoke on the House Floor in support of the Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment. He released the following statement:

“In the Second District, hard-working families gather around the kitchen table and balance their checkbooks. The time has come for Washington to do the same; which is why I have become an original cosponsor of the Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment. This amendment will not only help lower taxes and interest rates, but it will help job creators expand their businesses and create more jobs for the Second District and beyond.”
