Massachusetts Man Charged in Motorcycle Accident

|

Twenty-three-year-old Burlington, Massachusetts resident Patrick Litchfield has been charged with multiple criminal offenses in relation to a hit-and-run motorcycle accident that occurred on Route 25 in Gorham, Maine on Monday, October 5 at around 7 a.m. and caused injuries to 37-year-old Hiram resident Jonathan Lord.

Gorham police arrested Litchfield and charged him with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of a personal injury crash, possession of heroin, criminal speeding, driving to endanger, driving after his license was revoked, and trafficking in dangerous knives.

According to Lieutenant Christopher Sanborn, Officer Robert Henckel had been patrolling Route 25 when a gold-colored sedan traveling at 85 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone came zooming past him in the opposite direction.

Henckel said he turned his police cruiser around to question the speeding driver, but he stopped when he found Lord and his battered motorcycle resting beside the road.
