Police are investigating a crash early Saturday morning in Saco that left one person dead. The crash on northbound I-95 in Saco occurred at about 4:45 a.m., according to Maine State Police spokesperson Aaron Turcotte. A preliminary investigation found that a Hyundai Santa Fe, driven by Felix Melo, 36, of Manchester, New Hampshire, rear-ended a Ford Explorer driven by Yara Schneider, 42, of Lowell, Massachusetts, in the center lane. After the initial collision, the Ford spun and came to rest on the road, while the Hyundai left the road, entered a wooded area and rolled onto its side. Melo was pronounced dead at the scene, Turcotte said. Schneider and her passenger, Ana Dos Santos Augusto, 24, also of Lowell, were treated and released at the scene. A Maine State Police Reconstruction Team is aiding in the investigation.
