The Fort Fairfield Police Department is currently investigating a traffic crash which occurred on Main Street between an SUV and an Amish buggy.
At approximately 6:34 PM, a caller reported that they were traveling on Main Street in the area of 300 Main Street when they came upon an Amish Buggy with damage to it and two Amish individuals walking near the crash scene.
When Officers and EMS personnel arrived on scene, they determined that Mahlon Swartzentruber (33) of Fort Fairfield and a 9 year old passenger were struck from behind by what was reported by a witness to be a dark colored Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler did not stop and fled the scene heading eastbound on Main Street. As a result of being hit, the buggy struck a pickup truck which was parked along the street.
Minor injuries were reported which did not result in anyone being transported to the hospital by EMS. The horse was not injured.
The incident is currently under investigation, officers are checking cameras and would like anyone who witnessed the incident or with cameras facing the road on Main Street east of 300 Main Street to give us a call at 472-3808 to report what you witnessed or what you may have for video footage. Please reference this incident and ask for Officer Daniel Varnum who is investigating. This incident occurred on a well lit area of Main Street. Thank you for your assistance.

Good morning!

*Messy commute this morning with slippery roads. Any untreated surfaces could be slick as temperatures went around and below freezing throughout the area overnight. New falling snow can cover these icy patches from sight, which could catch travelers off guard. Exercise caution this morning, give yourself plenty of room between you and the car in front of you, and plan your commute accordingly.

*Lingering snow showers in the north will persist until later this afternoon. An inch or two of additional snowfall accumulation can be expected.

*Gusty northwesterly winds are expected to persist today into tomorrow, due to a pressure gradient that sits over the region. Gusty winds, plus trees weighed down by heavy, wet snow, could cause some scattered power outages.

Good morning!

Winter storm will impact northern and central Maine today into tomorrow.

*Snowfall throughout northern Maine, with the highest totals expected in the northwest. Slippery travel expected today into tomorrow morning.

*Heavy, wet snow is expected during this event. Use care when shoveling.

*Rain/snow line expected around Central Highland region, reducing snowfall totals in this region.

*Area of greatest uncertainty for snow totals remains to be east of Rt. 11. Depending on where this low pressure system tracks over the coast today, some mild maritime air could get pulled in, allowing a rain/snow mix to occur at times. This would reduce snow totals in this region.
