INDUSTRY — Officials say excessive speed is to blame for an all-terrain vehicle accident that injured a Massachusetts man.

The Maine Warden Service says 23-year-old Ryan Murray of Lowell, Mass., was hospitalized with a possible leg fracture after the ATV he was a passenger on landed on top of him after hitting an embankment and flipping over this morning in the Franklin County town of Industry.

Wardens say the ATV driver, 22-year-old Justin Messina of Tewksbury, Mass., was thrown clear of the machine and managed to roll the ATV off Murray.

Both men were wearing helmets.
