A dump truck driver’s misadventure wreaked havoc on a historic Maine bridge on Friday. The vehicle, loaded with crushed stone, crashed into the Presumpscot River, leaving a gaping hole in the planks where part of Babb’s Bridge once stood.

The bridge, built in 1840 and reconstructed in 1976, sustained significant damage; the driver only had minor injuries. The Maine Department of Transportation’s spokesperson, Paul Merrill, highlighted the bridge’s weight limit of 3 tons—far less than the truck’s load. The bridge is expected to be closed for a few months at a minimum. The Gorham Police Department continues to investigate the incident. (This story was generated by Newser’s AI chatbot.

WINSLOW – What goes into a winning dance number?

For teams that hit the turf Saturday for the 2024 Central Maine Field Hockey Play Day at Winslow High School, the competition wasn’t just on the field. It was also on the dance… field.

Part of the tradition of the annual event involves teams squaring off in a dance-off in the middle of the day. Teams take the week to plan the routine, before performing in front of the crowd and a panel of judges.



Lisbon, which finished runner-up at last year’s dance off, won Saturday’s competition. Mt. Blue finished second, and Winslow finished third. For their award, the Greyhounds received free ice cream from the Winslow concession stand.

Winthrop, Old Town, Brunswick, Gardiner, Erskine Academy, Nokomis, Massabesic, Morse, Lisbon, Messalonskee, Cony, Gorham and Mt. Ararat also participated in the dance-off.
