The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says the crash happened Sunday afternoon when the ATV 27-year-old Taylor Curtin was driving went airborne and struck a tree.

Curtin was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the Belchertown, Massachusetts, man was camping at the Carthage park. Game Wardens say he borrowed a friend’s ATV and was returning to the campsite when the crash occurred.

Wardens say Curtin was not wearing a helmet, and speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.
