ANDOVER (AP) — A Texas man was taken to a Maine hospital after suffering a broken ankle while hiking the Appalachian Trail.
The Maine Warden Service says it responded to a section of the trail in northwestern Maine at about noon Wednesday and took about four hours to remove 69-year-old Charles Smith, of Plano, Texas. He had left Andover earlier in the day and was hiking a section of the trail near the intersection of the Bemis Trail Track in Rangeley Plantation.
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
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.
