RANGELEY — A 79-year-old Buxton woman is recovering at a Lewiston hospital after she was found lying in a road in subzero temperatures Tuesday morning in a remote area of Oquossoc Village, police Chief Dennis Leahy said Thursday.
The woman was found on Bald Mountain Road, a mile away from her car that was found stuck in a snowbank in a remote area of the road. She had severe hypothermia and was taken to Central Maine Medical Center by a medical helicopter.
“She is doing better,” Leahy said. He said he talked with the woman’s daughter Thursday.
There was absolutely no reason for the woman to be in Rangeley, he said.
