The Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office is investigating how an SUV crashed into a home in Mapleton early Tuesday evening.
James Gardiner, 51, of Mapleton was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe west on Route 163 when he veered off the highway and crashed into a home on the other side of the road, according to the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office.
Gardiner was not wearing a seat belt and was taken to The Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to the sheriff’s office.
The homeowner was home at the time and was uninjured, but the house, like the vehicle, ended up with “extensive damage,” police reported.
