BUXTON, Maine — A man from Old Orchard Beach was killed in a single-vehicle crash that happened Thursday morning in Buxton.
Just after 5 a.m., Buxton police and fire personnel responded to a "serious" crash at the intersection of Beech Plains Road and Boynton Road, according to a news release from the Buxton Police Department.
Police said 28-year-old Gage Parsons of Old Orchard Beach was headed north on Beech Plains Road when he was unable to navigate a sharp corner. The vehicle went off the road and struck a utility pole, knocking wires down across the road.
