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.
