Kennebec County Sheriff's Office say that deputies responded at about 11:45 on Friday night after reports that a person had been 'thrown from an ATV'.

The 16-year-old boy, reportedly from the town of Oakland, Maine, had been riding down the road in Belgrade at a high rate of speed passing multiple cars on the left-hand side, witnesses tell News Center Maine.

Police say that the accident happened in the vicinity of 638 Manchester Road in Belgrade. Police say that while the teen was passing cars at a high rate of speed he lost control after being unable to negotiate a turn near the corner of Wings Mills Road.
