FRANKLIN COUNTY, Maine — Maine Game Wardens are investigating an ATV crash Saturday that killed a Massachusetts woman and injured a man in Coplin Plantation.
Matthew Tolman, 26, of Hubbardton, Massachusetts, was driving an ATV with Abigail Divoll, 25, of Royalton, Massachusetts, as a side-by-side passenger at approximately 12:45 p.m. when they reportedly hit a washout on the trail near Quill Hill Road and lost control of the ATV, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife spokesperson Mark Latti said in a news release.
The pair were ahead of three other ATVs when the crash happened. Latti said Divoll was killed in the crash, and Tolman suffered a "serious" head injury after getting thrown from the ATV.
Tolman was flown to Maine Medical Center in Portland for treatment.
Neither person was wearing helmets, per the news release.
Latti said speed and alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
The Maine Warden Service is investigating the crash.
