PHIPPSBURG, Maine — A Phippsburg man was killed in an ATV accident around 1 a.m. Monday on Sebasco Road, police told the Portland Press Herald.
Justin S. Thomas, 20, was driving east around a bend in the road when the ATV struck a utility pole, Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry said in a news release.
According to Merry, speed and wet road conditions were factors in the crash.
Thomas had a helmet with him, but it was unclear whether he was wearing it, Merry said.
A shame, regardless of any circumstances.
My condolences to this young man’s family and friends may God bring you peace in this your time of great sorrow.
