Police identify Bridgton crash victim

Bridgton Police have identified the man who died in a motorcycle crash Monday night as Justin Dilks, 34, of Quincy, Mass., according to the Portland Press Herald.

According to Bridgton police officer T.J. Reese, Dilks died after he stood on the seat of his Harley-Davidson, waved his arm and crashed on Route 302 near McDonald Motors.

Last night, Reese said, "[Dilks] stood up on the seat of his bike, was waving one hand in the air, and lost control of his bike and fell to the ground."

A second motorcyclist, 45-year-old Marjorie Loonie, 45, of Melrose, Mass., was injured in the crash as she was riding behind Dilks when he lost control of his vehicle.
