The Oxford County Sheriff’s Office says a 14-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after she was struck by a pickup truck with a plow Monday morning.

It happened just after 6:30 a.m. on Canton Point Road in Canton.

Deputies say the truck was being operated by a 46-year-old man from Mexico, Maine.

They say the girl was walking to the bus stop with her younger sister when she was struck by the plow and thrown over a snowbank.

Her injuries are said to be non-life-threatening.

There’s no word on if any charges will be filed against the driver.

The crash is under investigation.
