Accidents

* A Rumford woman complained of back pain but declined medical treatment after failing to negotiate her motorcycle on a curve on Route 2 in Dixfield on May 13.

Dixfield police Lt. Jeff Howe said Thursday morning that Rhonda Hebert, 50, was riding east behind her husband at 5:15 p.m. when the accident happened. He said the 2007 Yamaha motorcycle went off the road and into a ditch.

“There was significant scuffing on her helmet, so it could have been much worse if she wasn’t wearing a helmet,” Howe said.

Howe said driver inexperience contributed to the accident. Hebert is a new motorcycle rider, he said. The bike had a few thousand dollars damage.
