Police in Maine say a Turner woman crashed the same vehicle twice on the same road over the weekend.
The second crash at about 2:30 p.m. on Sunday landed the woman in the hospital.
Police say 54-year-old Maria Alleano drove her SUV into a snow bank on Route 117 in Buckfield just before 2 p.m. Sunday. She was apparently unhurt, because about 45 minutes later she fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the center line and crashed into a tree in Paris.
Police tell the Sun Journal that Alleano was taken to Stephens Memorial Hospital after the second crash.
Police are still investigating, but believe her medication played a factor. Police say she told them she had no memory of striking the tree.
