SANFORD - Maine State Police say a Sanford infant was killed Monday afternoon in a one-car crash on the Maine Turnpike in Wells.

The victim, 11-month-old Reece Degen, was in a child safety seat in the back seat and suffered fatal head injuries. She died shortly after arrival at York Hospital.

The little girl's mother, 21-year-old Brianna Degen, was the front seat passenger in the car.

The driver, Alyssa Cray, 22, of Sanford, and Brianna Degen were taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with multiple injuries.

Also taken to Maine Medical were Cray's two children, 4-month-old Connor and three-year-old Alexandria, both with minor injuries.

Conner was in a child safety seat and Alexandria was wearing a seat belt.

The crash took place in heavy rain when Cray lost control of the car and it struck guardrails and then came to rest along the tree line beside the highway. Troopers continue to investigate the cause.
