Naples man injured in ATV crash

NAPLES — A 31-year-old Naples man suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday night as the result of an ATV accident on Lake House Road in Naples at 8:27 p.m.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office reported that Caleb Humphrey was transported to Bridgton Hospital following the accident on the public way. Due to his injuries, Humphrey was subsequently transported via LifeFlight to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, where he remains in serious condition at press time Wednesday.

Police say Humphrey was the lone rider on the ATV. He lost control while heading north on Lake House Road, and was ejected off the ATV, landing on the roadway. Police say he had not been wearing a helmet. The accident remains under investigation and was reconstructed by the Sheriff’s Office. It appears that a mechanical failure of the 1980 Yamaha three-wheeler was the primary cause of the crash. There are no charges at this time.
