PHIPPSBURG — The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Department charged Ana Tanner, 46, of 14 Deerfield Drive, Brunswick, with improper passing after she allegedly struck another vehicle turning into a driveway along Route 209.

Chief Deputy Brett Strout said Lisa Washburn, 27, was driving a 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck south on Route 209 and was trying to make a left turn into a driveway.

As a result, the vehicles struck and Tanner went off the road. The pickup truck driven by Washburn sustained damage from where the Scion struck it.
