The Waterville Police Department says it responded around 11:20 a.m. to a fatal motor vehicle crash in the parking lot of The Big Apple Convenience Store, located at 364 Upper Main Street.

An initial investigation shows a vehicle was traveling east on Main Street when it left the roadway and struck another vehicle that was parked at a gas pump, police said. A pedestrian who was in the parking lot at the time was struck and pronounced dead at the scene.

The eastbound section of Main Street remained shutdown for several hours, as Maine State Police responded to the scene to assist with crash reconstruction.

Waterville police said in an update at 4 p.m. that the road had reopened.

The names of those involved in the deadly crash are not being released at this time. It’s unclear what caused this incident, and police haven’t said if anyone will face charges.
