In what has been a terrible year for motorcycle related fatalities not just in Maine, but across New England, there is yet another one to report on this morning.

Thankfully no one was injured in the crash, though police continue to urge drivers to use extreme caution on Maine roads in inclement weather.

According WABI TV 5, a jogger in Auburn has been seriously injured following a crash where he was hit by an oncoming motorcycle.

Sadly it seems that Maine can't make it through a summer season without a large number of motorcycle-related deaths.

According to the Kennebec Journal, only one person ended up being injured in a crash involving at least three different vehicles including multiple tractor-trailer trucks and an ambulance. At around 2 AM on Tuesday morning, a tractor trailer hauling peat moss out of Ontario was headed south on Interstate 95 near exit 113 in the Southbound lanes in Augusta...

We have received reports from multiple witnesses in the area that an apparent tractor trailer rollover near S&T Motors on Route 3 in South China has taken down power lines cut power to hundreds in the area. At this time we don't know the condition of the driver or if any other vehicles were involved but we will continue to update this story as details come in. ...

Always remember to take it extra slow and allow extra time for your commute when you know the weather and travel conditions will be inclement.

Please PLEASE do not do this.

Our hearts go out to his loved ones.

The driver is lucky there were no passengers in the area.

This morning is a perfect recipe for slick roads as there is still rain and freezing rain in the area and temps, for most of us, are still hovering around the freezing mark.

The incident is estimated to have caused around $30,000 in damage.

Please be safe out there on the roads.
