What Happened In The Fatal ATV Crash On Beech Grove Road?

An evening outing on at ATV in Penobscot County turned deadly over the weekend, as authorities say that vehicle left the roadway and went into the woods, throwing both occupants. Authorities say one person was declared dead at the scene, the other was sent to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

The Penobscot County Sheriff's Office says it all happened on Beech Grove Road in Corinth, just before 10:00 Saturday night.

"Preliminary investigation indicates the ATV was being operated on the roadway, not on a designated trail, when it left the road and overturned. Early findings suggest speed, reckless operation, and alcohol may have been contributing factors in the crash.
Members of the Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division, Criminal Investigation Division, Crash Reconstruction Team, and Forensic Mapping Team responded and conducted the investigation."

They have not yet released the identity of those involved, as they are waiting for the family to be notified.
