Toby Saucier had just crossed the one lane bridge over the Big Machias River when his loaded trailer was struck by a log truck driven by Dylan Bois.  Both men are from Frenchville, Maine.

Chief Deputy Darrell Crandall reports Bois' truck continued across the bridge, striking the guardrail before ending up in a ditch.

Bois was taken by ambulance to The Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle with non-life threatening injuries. He has since been released from the hospital. Saucier was not injured.

Saucier's trailer sustained about $7,500 damage and Bois' tractor, owned by Northern Timber Trucking of Fort Kent, is believed to be totaled.

The accident remains under investigation.
