Bangor woman survives
after hitting moose in The County
TOWNSHIP 9, RANGE 5, Maine — A Bangor woman escaped injury Thursday afternoon when her vehicle struck a moose on Route 11 just south of Masardis, according to police.
Michelle Warhola, 60, was driving her 2007 Honda CR-V southbound in Township 9, Range 5, when she struck the moose, Aroostook County Sheriff Darrell Crandall said in a statement issued Friday.
Warhola was not injured, but the moose died and the vehicle was severely damaged, according to Crandall.
“Moose are pretty active right now, and people need to be on the lookout,” the sheriff said.
Maine Forest Rangers, Ashland Police and Ashland Ambulance assisted Deputy Sheriff Rob Thibeault at the scene.
