A Milford man having a diabetic episode hit a University of Maine student bicyclist, then continued on to strike a home and fire hydrant before his truck ended up on another home’s lawn Thursday morning, according to The Bangor Daily News.
Around 9 a.m., the 63-year-old man, whose name was not released, sent the student into the air and destroyed the bicycle’s back wheel with his 2002 Dodge pickup truck.
The newspaper reported that the student, whose identity is unknown at this time, was unhurt. The truck incurred approximately $1,000 in damage.
The driver completely severed the fire hydrant from the ground and took siding and front steps off of the house. He “barely missed” hitting other items on the roadside, according to the BDN.
The man, because of the diabetic shock, was taken by ambulance to Eastern Maine Medical Center, according to police. His name is not available because he is not charged with a crime.
