A Carmel man suffered a compound fracture of one leg after the motorcycle he was riding collided with an oncoming car just before 10 a.m. Saturday in Bangor, officials said.
Phillip Butler, 76, of Carmel was riding his 1988 Suzuki motorcycle west on Hammond Street when he was hit by a 1995 Saturn sedan driven by Carolyn Sprool, 31, of Hampden. Sprool was headed east on Hammond Street, attempted to make a left turn and failed to see Butler, Bangor police Officer Erik Tall said. Sprool was not injured; Butler suffered a broken leg and was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where he was treated and released.
The motorcycle was destroyed, while the car had nearly $3,000 in damage, Tall said. The speed limit is 45 mph in the area of the accident, though police do not believe speed was a factor. No charges were immediately filed.
