MONMOUTH -- Police have identified a Connecticut resident who was killed Friday night when he was ejected from a pickup truck and into a stream after the truck struck a bridge.

An Auburn man also in the 1998 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, according to Monmouth Police Chief Robert Annese.

"We're not clear on who was driving," Annese said Saturday.

J. Allyn Marshall, 25, of Waterford, Conn., died in the accident. Nathan McNear, 19, of Auburn, was injured.

The crash was reported at 10:09 p.m.

Marshall was ejected from the pickup truck when the truck hit the cement bridge railing and flipped onto its roof.

The Kennebec County Sheriff's Office dive team found Marshall's body at 11:58 p.m. in Jug Stream, on the south side of the bridge, downstream from the East Monmouth accident site.

The accident occurred on Route 135 at the Sanborn Road intersection.

Annese said the truck was southbound on Route 135 when the driver lost control on a sharp curve, rolling the vehicle over and striking the cement bridge railing before coming to rest on its roof.

"There's a sharp curve there, especially if you're not familiar with the area," the chief said.

McNear managed to get out of the partially crushed pickup on his own and was taken, still conscious, to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston for treatment of his injuries, rescue workers said late Friday.

A State Police trooper went to the hospital to collect a blood-alcohol sample from McNear, according to Annese.

The state Medical Examiner's Office plans to conduct an autopsy.

Annese said the cause of the crash is under investigation, pending toxicology test results and the findings from the medical examiner.

Police, fire and rescue units responded to the accident from Monmouth and Winthrop, as did Kennebec County Assistant District Attorney Paul Rucha.

Monmouth Officer Matt Sylvester is the investigating officer, and Winthrop officer John Hall is reconstructing the crash.
