The Maine Game Warden Service had a busy Saturday night as they responded to three ATV crashes, a stranded hiker, and exhausted kayakers.

In Standish last night at approximately 7:00 p.m., Maine Game Wardens responded to an ATV crash where one woman had to be transported by ambulance with injuries to her hip and leg.

Olson Staples, age 22 of Standish, was operating a Polaris Sportsman ATV on a trail behind the Milt Brown Road in Standish with Mariah Folsom, age 22 of Steep Falls riding as his passenger. While traveling on the trail, the throttle on the ATV became stuck and they traveled approximately 100 yards before the ATV crashed and rolled over.

Both Staples and Folsom were wearing helmets. While Staples suffered only minor cuts and bruises, Folsom was transported by ambulance to Maine Medical Center with injuries to her hip and leg.

The incident remains under investigation.
