21-year-old motorcyclist seriously injured in central Maine crash

A 21-year-old Windham man was seriously injured on Thursday after he collided with a pickup truck and and SUV in the Cumberland County town of Casco.
The three-vehicle crash was reported just after 4 p.m. on Route 302 near Lakewood Road, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Kevin Lavoie was driving a 2023 Harley Davidson motorcycle west on Route 302, also known as Roosevelt Trail, when he crashed into the back of a 2023 Chevy Silverado that was stopped to make a left turn onto Lakewood Road, the sheriff’s office said.
The impact forced Lavoie and his motorcycle into the oncoming lane where he collided with a 2024 Chevy Tahoe driven by Jeffrey Lynds, 44, of Windham that was traveling east.
Lavoie, who was not wearing a helmet, was brought by Life Flight helicopter to Maine Medical Center with serious, life-threatening injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
Lynds was brought by ambulance to Bridgton Hospital with minor injuries. Police did not report any injuries to Dennis Butterfield, 69, of Casco, who was driving the Silverado pickup that Lavoie rear-ended.
Route 302 was closed for several hours.
Police believe speed was a factor in the crash.
