Slick road blamed for Bucksport rollover

BUCKSPORT – An 18-year-old Lisbon Falls man and his passenger were injured Sunday when their vehicle went off the slick road and rolled over in a ditch.

Both men were wearing seat belts.

Kates was taken by ambulance to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor with multiple injuries. Bishop was taken to the same hospital with minor injuries.
