Owner of Peg-a-leg Pete’s leather shop in Bridgton, also a former Bridgton police officer, was in critical condition Wednesday after a motorcycle accident Monday.

Eric “Ricky” Marston, 60, of Bridgton was riding on Route 117 when he encountered a car stopped in traffic to make a left turn. Marston crashed into the back of the sedan, flew from his motorcycle and hit the sedan. He was not wearing a helmet, said Bridgton Police Chief David Lyons.

Marston was airlifted to Central Maine Medical Center with head and internal injuries. The driver of the car, Kara Thurlow, 34, of Harrison was uninjured.

Marston worked for the Bridgton Police Department in the early 1970s and is also a retired sheriff’s deputy.
