NAPLES — A motorcyclist from Biddeford was crushed between two pickup trucks Thursday afternoon while stopped at a crosswalk on Route 302.
Stephen Caron, 58, was being treated for a traumatic head injury later Thursday at a Lewiston hospital, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. Police said he was not wearing a helmet.
Police said the first pickup, a Nissan driven by Malcolm Buchanan, 74, of Casco, was stopped on the Naples Causeway when the motorcyclist approached from behind and stopped.
