A Lebanon Teenager Has Died as the Result of a Motorcycle Crash

A 19-year-old motorcyclist from Lebanon has died in a collision with a vehicle.

Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss says the incident happened around 7:30 Wednesday evening. State Police Troopers responded to the report of a crash involving a motorcycle and a car in the area of the 100 block of Champion Street in Lebanon. When they arrived, they found 19-year-old Nathan Parker of Lebanon deceased.

An investigation determined that Parker had been driving his motorcycle at a high rate of speed northbound on Champion Street just previous to the crash. Police say when he traveled around a corner, he was in the opposite lane and struck an on-coming Chevy Impala. Parker died of injuries sustained in the crash. The woman driving the Impala and her children were not hurt.

This is the 13th motorcycle-related fatality this year.

This crash remains under investigation.
