JAY – The condition of an 8-year-old Jay boy critically injured after his bike and a pickup truck collided Saturday evening on Davis Road, remained unknown Tuesday.

On Monday, Jay police Sgt. Charles Keene said the boy, whose name was not released, suffered head injuries. He was not wearing a helmet, he said.

The boy’s condition is not known because hospitals do not release a patient’s condition to the media without a name.

Keene said Monday that the child was riding his bike out of a driveway when it and a truck driven south toward Wilton by Scott Bennett, 36, of Jay, collided.

The boy was thrown to the side of the truck and his bike was under the front of it, Keene said.

A medical helicopter flew the child to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where he remained Monday, Keene said.

NStar, union finalize contract

BOSTON (AP) – Members of the union representing more than 1,900 striking NStar workers overwhelmingly approved a new contract Tuesday night, the union’s president said.

Gary Sullivan, president of Utility Workers Union of America Local 369, said the vote was 87 percent in favor of the new deal.

The union had been on strike for two-weeks against the electricity and gas utility.

Of 1,466 total votes cast on the contract, 1,277 were in favor and 189 against, he said.

Union leaders had recommended approval of the four-year deal reached over the weekend, after a mediator called the sides back to the bargaining table for the second time since the strike began on May 16.

The agreement would give NStar greater flexibility to schedule crews to repair overhead lines during the late afternoon and in the evening, rather than paying day shift workers overtime to handle that work.

The union won a pledge to hire more workers for dedicated maintenance crews, and the company dropped some proposed pension and benefit cuts.
