BOWDOIN
A Turner man escaped serious injury after crashing his pickup truck into a utility pole in Bowdoin and rolling over late Wednesday night.
The crash was reported in the area of 878 Augusta Road at 10:58 p.m.
Chief Deputy Brett Strout from the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Department said Cory Letoile, 43, of Turner, was driving a 2001 Ford F-150 pickup truck along Augusta Road when the truck ran off the road and struck a utility pole, breaking it in half. The truck then rolled over and came to rest in a ditch. Lotoile was the sole occupant in the truck.
Strout said Letoile said after the crash he was tired and didn’t know what had happened. He was transported by Lisbon EMS to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston with what Strout characterized as “non-incapacitating injuries.” He was listed in good condition this morning by a hospital spokesperson. Bowdoin Fire and Rescue responded as well.
Strout said speed as well as driver fatigue are considered factors in the crash. No charges were issued.
