SACO, Maine — A Manchester, New Hampshire, man was killed early Saturday, when the SUV he was driving struck another vehicle from behind on the Maine Turnpike in Saco and then ran off the highway, according to state police accounts reported by several news outlets.

Felix Melo, 36, died at the scene, Maine State Police spokesperson Aaron Turcotte told the Bangor Daily News. The crash happened about 4:45 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95.

Early findings indicate that Melo's Hyundai Santa Fe hit a Ford Explorer as the Ford moved along the middle lane, police said, according to the Bangor Daily News and NBC Boston. Melo's SUV wound up on its side among trees beside the turnpike. The Explorer spun around from the impact but stayed on the pavement.

Yara Schneider, 42, of Lowell, Massachusetts, was driving the Ford, the Bangor Daily News reported. She and her passenger, Ana Dos Santos Augusto, 24, also of Lowell, were checked by medical crews at the crash site and released. NBC Boston reported that neither woman needed hospital care.

A state police crash reconstruction team helped investigate. WMTW reported that the crash was close to mile marker 39 and that state police had warned on Facebook that lanes could be shut while troopers worked. Every lane was open again shortly before 9 a.m., the station reported.

Investigators have not identified a cause, and police said they would release more details later, according to WMTW.
