FRYEBURG, Maine — A 35-year-old man faces multiple charges after his motorcycle crashed early Sunday night along Menotomy Road in Fryeburg.
Fryeburg police said Jonah Weese and his 24-year-old female passenger, both of whom suffered non-life threatening injuries, were northbound shortly before 5:30 p.m. when their motorcycle left the roadway.
Investigators believe that Weese turned off into the ditch to avoid colliding with a slower-moving northbound tractor driven by a 72-year-old Fryeburg man.
Both Weese and his passenger were ejected during the crash, Fryeburg Police Chief Joshua Potvin said, and neither were wearing a helmet.
The pair were taken to Memorial Hospital in North Conway, New Hampshire.
Weese was subsequently charged with operating an unregistered motor vehicle, operating without a license and operating beyond license restrictions.
He was scheduled to appear in court July 9.
