Albert Lopez, 82, died at the scene of the crash on Route 201, Somerset County sheriff's Sgt. Michael Knight said. Lopez was operating a 1994 Ford Taurus when he suddenly crossed the center line and drove into the side of the truck, police said. The truck was driven by Alvin Smith, 50, of Carmel, and owned by Matapedia Trucking of Caratunk. Smith swerved to the right to avoid Lopez at the last second, Knight said, but was able to keep his truck on the road and was not injured. Knight said it is unknown why Lopez swerved. Speed and alcohol have been ruled out as factors. Knight said there also did not appear to be any moose in the area. The crash remains under investigation, he said.
