Palermo -
State police say one of two men critically injured in a head-on collision between a Jeep and a tractor trailer in Palermo Wednesday morning, has died.
27-year old Dean Camacho of Waterville passed away at Maine Medical Center in Portland overnight.
Authorities say Camacho was a passenger in the vehicle driven by 23-year-old Christian Arsenault of China.
Arsenault lost control of the Jeep on North Palermo Road about 5:45 a.m.
The Jeep went into the path of the tractor trailer.
Police say Arsenault was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown out of the Jeep.
Camacho was pinned inside.
Arsenault is listed in serious condition, according to a charge nurse at the hospital.
State police say it appears speed, not the weather, played a part in the crash.
The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured.
