Enfield man injured in truck-backhoe crash in Lincoln

LINCOLN, Maine — The bucket on a backhoe came close to seriously injuring an Enfield man when the box truck he was driving accidentally rear-ended the backhoe on Tuesday on West Broadway, officials said. The 47-year-old Archer complained of pain in his left side, and he was taken by Lincoln Fire Department ambulance to Penobscot Valley Hospital. Freeing Archer took about 30 minutes, Lincoln Fire Capt. Fucile said the accident occurred because the truck’s brakes gave out when the backhoe stopped in front of the truck near 256 West Broadway. Firefighters covered Archer with blankets to keep him warm and protect him from any glass that might have been flung during the cutting.
