Michael Brennan, 57, of Portland, lost control of his Honda when it struck the guard rails and was then hit by a pickup truck, which was towing a minivan, driven by George Speck, 48, of Augusta.

Brennan was pinned inside his car for a time and taken to Maine Medical Center with injuries, none of them life-threatening, according to a press release from the Maine Department of Public Safety.

The crash caused a significant tie-up in the southbound lane of Interstate 295.
