Two brothers have been taken to a Bangor hospital after a dirt bike collision.
The brothers, ages 14 and 16, were riding dirt bikes along the top of a gravel pitt off Route 200 in Franklin about 3 p.m. Saturday, according to Mark Latti, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
They were riding from opposite directions toward each other along a trail when one of the brothers made a sweeping left turn and collided with the other, Latti said Monday.
Neither was wearing a helmet, and the boys suffered injuries to their upper bodies, heads and limbs.
The brothers were taken to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. The condition wasn’t immediately available Monday.
The crash remains under investigation.
