NAPLES, Maine — An Oxford man was injured in a truck vs. motorcycle crash in Naples Wednesday afternoon.
At approximately 4:06 p.m., Cumberland County deputies and Naples first responders responded to Sebago Road (Route 114) for a reported crash involving a truck and motorcycle, according to a news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
Silas Gordon, 22, of Oxford was operating a 2004 Kawasaki motorcycle and headed northbound when the motorcycle reportedly crossed into the southbound lane, causing a head-on crash with a southbound 2003 Dodge Dakota truck operated by a 28-year-old Limerick man.
Gordon was brought to Maine Medical Center by LifeFlight after suffering "severe leg injuries and a head injury," according to the sheriff's office. He was reportedly wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The Limerick man was uninjured.
Deputies said speed appears to be a factor in the crash.
