CONWAY — An East Baldwin, Maine, woman was killed last Saturday evening when she was the passenger of a motorcycle that crashed into trees on Hurricane Mountain Road. The motorcycle operator now faces charges, including negligent homicide and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Police Chief Chris Mattei said that at 7:26 p.m., Conway police officers and North Conway Fire and Rescue and Brewster Ambulance responded to Hurricane Mountain Road for a report of a motorcycle crash approximately half a mile up from the gate on the Chatham side of the mountain.
