A competitor was killed in a crash on the first day of a rally race through a forest in western Maine, leading organizers to cancel the event's second day. Erin Kelly, a 48-year-old woman from Marshall, Virginia, was killed Friday when her team's car crashed near Lower Richardson Lake during the New England Forest Rally, where vehicles race along rural backroads and logging tracks near Maine's border with New Hampshire. The American Rally Association, which sanctioned the race, said Saturday that the New England Forest Rally decided to cancel the rest of the event.
