WISCASSET$Police continue to search for a driver who fled the scene after striking down a Jefferson man last month.

Lt. Rand Maker of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department said this week that his department continues to receive information regarding the Sept. 20th crash that claimed the life of 20-year-old Loren St. Cyr.

St. Cyr was pronounced dead at the scene of the North Road accident after being struck by a 1996 Mercury Villager driven by James McKenna, 38, of Jefferson.

A week after the accident Maker announced that St. Cyr, who was lying in the road when he was hit by the minivan, had already been struck by an unknown vehicle that then left the scene.

The Sheriff's Department on Sept. 26 held a press conference with members of St. Cyr's family to make a public appeal for information to help investigators search for the driver of the first vehicle.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department phone number is 882-7332.
