Bangor, Maine — Police said that there was a serious accident in Bangor early in the morning on New Year’s Day (Thursday, January 1, 2015) that claimed the life of a woman and left a man facing charges. Police said that Elizabeth Horlicea, 37, was killed when the SUV she was riding in crashed along Finson Road.
The driver of the SUV, 42-year old Shawn Macnevin, was eventually charged with felony drunk driving after police suspected him of being under the influence.
The accident happened at about 2:00 a.m. along Finson Road, near Broadway. Macnevin had been driving his SUV with Horlicea as passenger along Finson Road, headed north, when he lost control. His vehicle then drove off the side of Finson and crashed into a tree.
Elizabeth Horlicea was killed immediately by the impact while Macnevin was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. Police suspected him of being under the influence and, on January 7, announced that he had been charged with felony drunk driving.
Apparently, Macnevin has a history with alcohol-related offenses and was charged with an OUI in 1998 twice. The charges levied against him in this accident may result in 10 years of prison, the news reports said.
