Riley Twp., Maine - At approximately 11:00 AM, The Maine Warden Service responded to Riley Township near Sunday River for an ATV crash which resulted in two people being injured. It appears the two ATVs collided head-on while being operated on the multi-use trail on Maine Public Reserve land. Both operators were injured in the crash. Both men are from Rhode Island and are visiting Maine together.

One of the operators was transported by Med-Care to Rumford hospital. The other man suffered serious injury and was flown by Life-Flight to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.  Acting Sergeant Dave Chabot and Warden Norm Lewis were assisted by Newry Fire, Bethel Rescue, Med-Care, Oxford County Sheriff Office and Life-Flight.
