ATV crash injures two men
At approximately 12:03 a.m., Wednesday, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to an ATV crash on the Old County Road in Edgecomb.
Deputies have identified the two occupants of the 2013 Yamaha ATV involved as 23-year-old Christopher Dighton and 23-year-old Drew Wallace, both of Edgecomb.
Both men received serious injuries when the ATV they were occupying rolled over in the roadway. Both men were transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland. Their conditions are unknown at this time. Dighton was transported by Life Flight, Wallace by ground ambulance.
Deputies are uncertain as to what caused the ATV to roll over, but they have received information that it was operating without its headlights prior to the crash.
Deputies also have not determined which man was operating the ATV when it crashed, but believe neither was wearing a helmet and alcohol may be factor. Deputies will continue to investigate this crash in the coming days with hopes of identifying additional witnesses and interviewing both men involved.
Deputies were assisted with their initial investigation by a member of the Maine Warden Service. The Edgecomb Fire Department, Wiscasset EMS and Boothbay Region Ambulance also responded and assisted at the scene.
