A 26-year-old Madawaska woman sustained serious injuries after her vehicle rolled over on Route 1 in Frenchville, Maine early Tuesday morning, said the Maine State Police.
Kelly Dixon was traveling westbound on Route 1 near 55 US Route 1 around 12:20 a.m. when she went off the right side of the road and hit a lawn tractor parked in a private driveway.
