The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash, which took place in the 500 block of Park Street in Livermore Falls shortly around 11:55 p.m. Friday.
According to the sheriff’s office, Livermore Falls Officer Troy Reed was traveling south on Park Street when Slaver entered the roadway and was struck by the cruiser.
