GARDINER (AP) — Three men escaped serious injury after the all-terrain vehicle they were riding on sank into the frigid waters of the Kennebec River.
The Morning Sentinel reported that one of the men was able to get out of the water and call for help just before 10 p.m. Tuesday. Gardiner fire and rescue crews pulled the other two men from the river.
One man was being treated for hypothermia at a hospital. Game warden Jason Luce says his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
