to Baxter Smith of Portland. Just because it said it happened in Bucksport doesn't necessarily mean it was alcohol related. Keep reading idiot, it says 'he was out driving his headlights'. With all fatalities they check for alcohol. It's the law. Hello!? YOU live in Portland! The Crime city of MAINE. And Portland is alcohol free right?report abuseBaxter Smith

what a mess - they probably won't - plane wrecks are very uncommon and get more attention but sadly snowmobile wrecks are unfortunately more common like car wrecks
Leanne _ I agree with you that Jon smith is being a jerk, but he has a point . . . it is stupid to do something risky - dangerous or unknowingly perhaps stupid - and unfortunately there are horrible consequencesreport abuse

Ok, enough. Jon Smith, you obviously didn't know Carl, his kids or any of his family. I DID! I went to school with Carl, and I've known him most of my 42 years. Carl was a nice guy and in no way did he deserve this. Have a little compassion for his family, because if they ever read what you wrote, they would be headed for Belgrade with about half the town of Bucksport. Me included. How would you feel if it was your family member, or a friend. That was one ignorant comment you made. I bet you've never gone too fast before have you?? Maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself.
