BRUNSWICK

Brunswick police are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash that occurred late this morning and claimed the life of a motorcyclist.

Brunswick Police Lt. Tom Garrepy said in a press release that Brunswick police, fire and rescue were called at around 11:12 a.m. to a two-vehicle crash on Bath Road near Maine Mattress and Futons. Upon arrival, officers discovered the crash involved a motorcycle and pickup truck.

The driver of the 2001 Honda CBR929 motorcycle, David Lamontagne, 45, of Monmouth, was found unresponsive in the parking lot of the mattress store, Garrepy said. Rescue personnel began lifesaving efforts, and transported Lamontagne to Mid Coast Hospital nearby where he was pronounced dead. Police say he was not wearing a helmet.

The pickup truck, a 2003 Ford F-250, was driven by Roger Reid, 78, of Harpswell. Reid was not injured.

Police say it appears Reid was traveling toward the Cook’s Corner intersection and was turning right into the Maine Mattress and Futons parking lot when his pickup truck was struck by the motorcycle, which was also headed toward the Cook’s Corner intersection. The crash is still under investigation by the Brunswick Police Department and its collision reconstruction unit.
