Fryeburg police said Norman Lee of Merritt Island, Florida, was operating a 2017 Harley-Davidson motorcycle west on Route 302, also known as Bridgton Road, when he left the roadway on a curve in the 978 block, tried to correct the motorcycle off the road for about 200 feet but was unable to regain control before striking a utility pole and rock.
