Spouses Crash Their Cars On Same Day, Same Intersection - Seperate Crashes

MASARDIS - Monday was not a good day for Glenn and Cynthia Boisvert of Oakfield.


Neither was seriously injured, but both husband and wife were involved in separate accidents - at the same railroad crossing.

Glenn Boisvert, 33, suffered minor injures about 9 a.m. when the brakes failed on his northbound log truck, causing it to strike a train at a Route 11 crossing.

A short time later, Cynthia Boisvert, 42, who had been notified about her husband's accident, arrived at the scene but lost control of her northbound car, which ran across a driveway and rolled over. She was not injured.

Aroostook County Deputy Mike Monpetit said Glenn Boisvert had crested a hill on Route 11 when he noticed three or four vehicles stopped at the Squa Pan Crossing, where a train was backing in a westerly direction through the crossing.

When Boisvert hit the brakes on the 1992 Ford tractor-trailer, which was loaded with logs, nothing happened, he told authorities. He was able to maneuver around the stopped vehicles, but he struck the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train moving across the siding.
