A16-year-old boy has injuries after crashing his side-by-side ATV on a dirt section of Penobscot County Road in Milford Wednesday afternoon.

Officers say a Milford contract deputy and a Supervisor were nearby at the time and were able to remove the trapped boy from the ATV, which had rolled over while swerving to avoid a deer.

They say the boy was treated for minor arm injuries at the scene.

Officers say he was wearing a DOT-approved ATV helmet and a seat belt at the time of the crash, preventing more serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
