State police said they are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found along a highway in Maine on Wednesday morning as a homicide.
A passing driver found the body around 5:30 a.m.
Route 193 in Cherryfield was temporarily closed after the discovery. The scene is about two to three miles away from Route 1, according to police.
The unidentified woman's body has been transported to the state medical examiner's office and an autopsy is expected to be conducted on Thursday.
