Naples, ME – Man Hospitalized in Motorcycle Collision at Roosevelt Trl & Kansas Rd

Naples, ME (June 2, 2024) – A motorcyclist from Saco is recovering from serious injuries following a crash in Naples. A man on a motorcycle was involved in a crash with a vehicle that was making a left-hand turn at the intersection of Roosevelt Trail and Kansas Road, just before 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The car's driver, an 18-year-old man, was issued a traffic summons for failing to yield to motorcyclist's right-of-way. The driver and his passenger were unharmed. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet but still sustained serious injuries. Naples Fire Dept. transported him to a LifeFlight helicopter, which brought him to Maine Medical Center. Officials with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office believe that distracted driving was a factor in the crash. However, an investigation into the accident is still ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and his family.
