One person is dead from a two-vehicle crash in Gray Saturday night.

Cumberland County deputies say they were called to the scene of a crash in the area of Shaker Road and Game Farm Road, along with the Gray and Raymond Fire Departments.

Deputies say an initial investigation shows that a 2024 Ford Maverick driven by 70-year-old Jean Rahilly of Bethel, crossed the center line and hit a 2010 Mazda Sedan driven by 29-year-old Shanya “Shane” Pottle of Mechanic Falls.

They say Pottle was taken to Maine Medical Center, but suffered fatal injuries while Rahilli was taken to Maine Medical Center with minor injuries.

The crash is being investigated by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and the Gorham Police Department Crash Reconstruction Unit. The Maine Warden Service assisted at the scene.
