At the scene, Fire Chief Kyle Jordan said the man suffered “multi-system trauma” after the single-vehicle crash. Urquhart said Micklon was Lifeflighted to CMMC.

Although he did not see the crash, James Stricker, a volunteer EMT, said he was flagged down immediately after the accident. He said he attempted to apply pressure to the man’s wounds, but could not do much because the man was trapped inside the truck.

The Otisfield Fire Department, Oxford Fire Department, and Casco Fire Department and Oxford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the accident.
