Following a hit and run Monday on Ossipee Trail (Route 25) in Gorham that hospitalized a motorcyclist, police arrested a suspect from Massachusetts on multiple charges including leaving the scene and possession of heroin.

A suspect was arrested later Monday. Lt. Christopher Sanborn of Gorham Police said in a report that Patrick Litchfield, 23, of Burlington, Mass., was arrested on charges of criminal speeding, driving to endanger, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of a personal injury crash, operating after license revocation, possession of scheduled W drugs (heroin) and trafficking in dangerous knives.

The motorcyclist, Jonathan Lord, 37, of Hiram remained hospitalized Tuesday morning.

Gorham Police Officer Robert Henckel was in a westbound cruiser at about 7 a.m. Monday on Ossipee Trail when he saw a small- to mid-sized gold sedan traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed.

“Officer Henckel picked the sedan up on radar traveling 85 mph in a posted 50 mph speed zone,” Sanborn’s report said.

Police said Henckel turned his cruiser around in an attempt to stop the sedan but in approximately a third of a mile saw “a large amount of debris and a motorcycle resting on the left side of Ossipee Trail (Route 25).”

Henckel stopped to provide medical assistance to Lord.

“It was determined by interviewing witnesses and evidence left at the scene that the small- to mid-sized gold sedan had struck the motorcycle in the rear and fled the scene,” the police report said.

Police said the sedan had front-end driver’s side damage and police also said the sedan was a rental vehicle “that had been rented by Patrick Litchfield of Burlington, Mass.”

Litchfield, police said, was located later and arrested.

Lord, who was riding a black, 2007 Harley Davidson, complained of neck and head injuries and was rushed by Gorham Rescue to Maine Medical Center in Portland. A spokeswoman at the hospital said Tuesday Lord’s condition was listed as satisfactory.

A section of the highway in Gorham was closed to single lane traffic for about two hours following the incident.
