A 10-year-old and a 9-year-old were riding an all-terrain vehicle when it flipped over on Controversy Lane in Waldoboro at 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 14.
According to Officer Christopher Spear of the Waldoboro Police Department, the ATV “went off the shoulder of the road” before coming to rest upside-down in a ditch.
The children were taken to LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus in Damariscotta, although they did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, according to Spear.
One of the children was operating the ATV.
“It’s all under investigation right now,” Spear said.
Waldoboro Emergency Medical Services, the Waldoboro Fire Department and the Waldoboro Police Department were at the scene on Controversy Lane, a gravel road off North Nobleboro Road.
Waldoboro police are collaborating with the Maine Warden Service on the investigation, according to Spear.
