HARPSWELL

The Cumberland County Sheriff ’s Office continues to investigate a two-vehicle crash a week ago in Harpswell that resulted in the death of two dogs that were passengers inside one of the pickup trucks involved.

The sheriff ’s office released a press release Monday about the Jan. 6 crash, reported at 4 p.m. on Cundy’s Harbor Road near Dingley Island Road. The crash allegedly took place when a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck being driven south on Cundy’s Harbor Road by Cynthia Moody, 50, of Harpswell, crossed the center line. Her truck then struck a northbound 2001 GMC pickup truck head-on which was driven by Samuel Desjardins, 39, of Harpswell.

Desjardins had to be extricated by Cundy’s Harbor Rescue and was taken to Maine Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries by Brunswick Rescue. Moody also required extrication by Cundy’s Harbor Rescue and was taken to Parkview Hospital in Brunswick with non-life threatening injuries. No charges have been filed following the crash, which remains under investigation.

There were three dogs in the cab of the truck with Desjardins; two of the dogs died on scene from their injuries, the third one fled the area and has not yet been located.

According to the Maine Lost Dog Recovery Facebook page, the dog’s name is Tyson and is a small, brown and white Chihuahua mix. The dog, reportedly ejected during the crash, was spotted as recently as Monday not far from the crash and his owner was notified. The site warns people that searching for the dog will likely scare him away.
