Missing Sanford man found Saturday trapped in truck in Dover, NH

The man was found Saturday afternoon in Dover, trapped in his vehicle after it slid down an embankment.

SANFORD, Maine — A man from Sanford who was reported missing after he was last seen Sept. 14 has been found. 

Robert C. Brown, 65, was reportedly last seen Thursday, when his wife dropped him off at work in Rochester, New Hampshire, but she told police she has not seen him since and called to report him missing at about 5 a.m. Friday, according to a news release issued Saturday by the Sanford Police Department.

On Saturday, at about 2:30 p.m., police were notified about a tip from people who were walking in the woods near River Street and Washington Street in Dover that led them to discover Brown. 

Brown's vehicle had reportedly slid down an embankment, causing him to become trapped inside. 

Crews with Dover Fire and Rescue worked alongside Dover and Sanford police to get him out, Sanford police said Saturday afternoon in an updated news release. 

Brown was brought to Wentworth Douglas Hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. 

The incident remains under investigation.
