TURNER, Maine (WMTW) - Deputies are searching for a man who is wanted on multiple charges, including manslaughter, for a crash that killed a 79-year-old woman.
Officials are searching for 34-year-old Curtis R. Fogg of Windham. According to deputies, Fogg told a detective he would turn himself in on his charges, but his current whereabouts are unknown.
The crash involving three vehicles on Route 4 in Turner claimed the life of Carol Ivers of Fayette.
According to investigators, Fogg and Jacob Diaz were racing at speeds of more than 100 mph.
Diaz, who faced a judge last week, passed a semitrailer and crashed into Ivers’ car as she pulled onto Route 4 from Upper Road.
Diaz and a passenger were both thrown from their vehicle and hospitalized for their injuries.
Ivers, who was on her way to deliver Christmas gifts to her granddaughter in Brunswick, died at the scene.
Iver’s granddaughter, Sarah Cholewinski, spoke to Maine’s Total Coverage last week on Diaz’s court appearance. She said she has a mixture of feelings. “I’m happy. I’m sad. I’m elated that they have him, and he can’t do this to anyone else.”
Cholewinski has lobbied for traffic improvements in that area where her grandmother was killed, speaking with both State Senate President Troy Jackson and an engineer for the Maine Department of Transportation.
Cholewinski said they both assured her they are going to make changes on that stretch of road that include adding no passing signs, new stripping and lowering the speed limit from 55 to 45 miles an hour.
“If all of these changes on Route 4 can even just save one life, then I feel like we did our job,” Cholewinski said. “It’s worth it to me. Too many people have lost their families on that road, and it hurts, and I’m really, really hoping that this makes a difference,” she said.
Fogg faces the following charges stemming from the crash:
Manslaughter
Operating After Suspension- Accident with Death
Aggravated Operating after Habitual Offender Revocation- 1 Prior
Reckless Conduct
Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident- Aggravated
Motor Vehicle Speeding: 30-plus mph Over Speed Limit
Anyone with information on Fogg is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 207-753-2599.
