Moose Hit, Killed Near Crossing Sign; Driver Keeps Going

October 08, 2008 - WALDOBORO -- A Camden man hit a moose just up the road from Bullwinkle's Restaurant on Sept. 23 and kept going.

The moose lay dead in the road next to a moose crossing sign that night until two Waldoboro residents saw it and called the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, according to Deputy Brent Barter.

Barter said that when the driver was pulled over by police in Camden, it was discovered that the man didn't realize he had killed the moose. No drugs or alcohol were involved.

According to Barter, the driver had sideswiped the moose and the whole passenger side of the Saab sedan was damaged, but the motorist didn't think he had hurt the moose badly.
