Went to the Canal Friday. Ended up coming back to ME on Saturday night. About 7:30PM I was approaching the I-295 exit in Portland and there was a trooper with the lights on just before the ramp. I couldn't make out what the big blue thing was that he had pulled over until I was some 100 yards away. Then I noticed the white marks all over the highway, leading to the big blue thing. A 25-ft v-hull, on it's side, trailer crumpled up against a road sign, boat lying across the breakdown and slow lane of the 4-lane highway. Van positioned facing south in the northbound side of the highway. Looks to me like the trailer let go of the vehicle, boat left the trailer, and boat took a circuitous route across three lanes of the highway before it stopped facing west in the northbound side of Interstate 95/ME Turnpike.
