DALLAS PLANTATION — Police in Maine said Wednesday that speed and alcohol use appeared to play roles in a fatal snowmobile crash in rural Franklin County.
The crash killed William Arnow, 33, of Stamford, Connecticut.
He was driving a snowmobile in Dallas Plantation in the northwestern part of the state on Tuesday night when he crashed into a utility pole off the side of the trail, police said.
A friend driving a separate snowmobile performed CPR and called 911, after which emergency responders came to the scene.
Police said Arnow died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, police said.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
