A New Jersey man died this week after he hit a moose while riding a motorcycle on Interstate 95 in Piscataquis County.
Anand Sreedharan, 50, of Princeton, New Jersey, was driving south near T2 R9, a township near Baxter State Park, around 7 p.m. Monday when a moose walked into his lane, the Maine State Police said. He was unable to avoid the moose and was ejected from his motorcycle by the collision, police said.
Sreedharan ultimately died from his injuries, said Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss. The moose also died, she said.
State police continue to investigate the crash.
