A Waterville woman is facing multiple charges, including OUI, after crashing her vehicle into Fish Brook in Fairfield.

According to an article published in the Kennebec Journal, a Waterville woman was arrested Tuesday after crashing her SUV into Fish Brook.

Vanessa Poirier, 25, of Waterville suffered minor injuries Tuesday when her SUV ran a stop sign, hit a guardrail and went down an embankment and into the brook, Fairfield police say.

Part of the strategy for agencies like the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is to use Fairfield as something of a case study to guide future testing in other regions of the state.
