DAVIS TOWNSHIP — Two men were taken to the hospital after colliding Friday afternoon on snowmobiles on ITS 84 in Davis Township, north of Rangeley.
David Price, 42, of Milan, New Hampshire, and Warren Grant, 36, of Essex, Massachusetts, were heading in opposite directions when both approached a sharp turn in the trail and crashed into each other, according to Mark Latti, communications director for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.
Grant was taken by a LifeFlight of Maine helicopter to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, where he was found to have a concussion.
Price declined medical treatment from responders and was driven to a hospital in Berlin, New Hampshire, where he was treated for a shoulder injury, Latti said.
“The initial investigation shows that Price was operating left of center on the corner and traveling too fast for the conditions,” Latti said.
Both riders were wearing helmets, according to officials.
The incident remained under investigation over the weekend.
