ARUNDEL — A 22-year-old Sanford man died at the scene of a single-vehicle crash on Route 111 in Arundelat about 7:45 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3.

York County Sheriff William King said Michael Mackie Jr. was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu east on Route 111, near the intersection of Trout Brook Road, when his vehicle crossed the center line and left the roadway, veered into a ditch and struck a tree.

Mackie was the only person in the car.

King said a preliminary analysis showed speed was a factor in the crash.

The heavily-traveled road, which connects Biddeford and the Maine Turnpike to municipalities in the interior  of York County, was closed for approximately two hours during the investigation.
