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.

Tolman was flown to Maine Medical Center in Portland for treatment.

Neither person was wearing helmets, per the news release.
