PORTLAND - The Cumberland County District Attorney's Office said it will not bring criminal charges against the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed a Scarborough Police department volunteer last month.

James Durant died from injuries suffered when he was hit while directing traffic around the scene of an accident on Dec. 14.

Police said Elizabeth Coughlin, 54, was making a left turn from Running Hill Road onto Route 114 when she struck Durant.

Durant was directing traffic following an accident just north of that intersection in which a car hit a house. No serious injuries were reported in that crash.
