1/28/2019 at approximately 6:57 a.m. Franklin County Communications took a 911 call of a serious crash at the intersection of Rangeley Road and Weld Road in Phillips. It was reported that there were two vehicles involved one being a tractor trailer truck and the occupant of the other vehicle was entrapped. A 1997 Ford Ranger being driven by Loren Keim, 21, of Dixfield, was driving towards Phillips on the Weld Road. Keim failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Rangeley Road and struck the trailer portion of the tractor trailer unit that was operating north on Rangeley Road. Keim’s vehicle struck the axles on the trailer causing catastrophic damage to Keim’s vehicle. The tractor trailer unit was operated by Richard Giles, 61, of Jay. Giles was driving north on Route 4 in the passing lane portion of the road. Giles stated he was in the passing lane because the right lane had not been treated for snow. The truck is owned by Darrell Tibbetts of Livermore. The truck was hauling a Poland Spring tanker, which was empty at the time of the crash. The truck is a 2011 Peterbuilt. At the time of the crash Phillips was getting snow flurries and the road was covered with some snow making the road conditions slippery.
