ORRINGTON — Maine law enforcement officials say alcohol and speed appear to be factors in the death of a 42-year-old Orrington man who was killed while snowmobiling.
The Penobscot County Sheriff's Department says a plow truck driver found David Hall on Long Hill Road in Orrington around 2:30 a.m. Thursday. Hall was brought to Eastern Maine Medical Center and later pronounced dead.
Deputy Mark Lloyd said Hall was driving his snowmobile down the snow-covered road when he apparently lost control and struck a telephone pole.
