Intersection crash

A Portland woman crashed into oncoming traffic at the intersection of Pleasant and High streets about 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Sarah Williams, 39, was driving her 2020 Kia Niro west on High Street when she stopped at its crossing with Pleasant Street. She told police she didn’t see the northbound 2024 Jeep Wrangler and continued into the intersection, crashing into 49-year-old Blue Donnelly’s car.

Damage is estimated between $2,500 and $5,000. Her vehicle was towed.
