MEDFORD, Maine (AP) The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says a Bangor man died when he was unable to stop his snowmobile at an intersection and crashed into some trees.

The department says the crash killed 42-year-old Andrew Purdue occurred at about 12:20 p.m. Sunday near the Medford-Lakeview town line.

Investigators say Purdue passed a member of his riding party at a high rate of speed and then failed to stop at an intersection, sliding through it and then striking trees.

While initially responsive, Purdue soon lost consciousness. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
