Woman suffers head injury in ATV crash

SUMNER — A woman who crashed an all-terrain vehicle on Rosenberg Road on Saturday evening was taken by medical helicopter to a Lewiston hospital with head injuries, police said.

The woman, whom police had not identified, was driving a 2005 Honda four-wheeler on a private dirt road at 5:15 p.m. when she lost control, hit an embankment and rolled over, Oxford County Deputy Sheriff Chris Davis said.

He said the woman, estimated to be in her 50s, was unconscious at the scene and may have suffered broken bones in addition to serious head injuries. She was airlifted by LifeFlight to Central Maine Medical Center. A blood-alcohol test would be conducted as a routine procedure that is done in all serious or potentially life-threatening accidents, Davis said.

Rosenberg Road is a "rough dirt road" in a remote area a few miles from Route 219 in West Paris, he said.
