Speed, not wearing a seat belt and driver error have been listed as contributing factors in a January crash that killed a Maine firefighter.
The York County Sheriff's Office reconstructed the wreck that claimed the life of David E. Remington, 58, of Acton, according to Fosters.com.
The Shapleigh volunteer firefighter was responding to an emergency call when he lost control of his 2005 Chevrolet 1500 pick-up truck.
The truck rolled, struck two trees and came to rest on the passenger's side in a ditch. Remington, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected, according to the report.
The sheriff's office also said neither alcohol nor mechanical failure were factors in the wreck.
Investigators estimated that the vehicle was traveling between 59 and 67 miles per hour (mph) when it left the road. The posted speed limit in the area is 45 mph, according to published reports.
The reconstructionists concluded: "It appears that Remington had become distracted for some unknown reason while rounding a gradual corner."
Remington, a retired firefighter for the City of Portland, had been volunteer for the Shapleigh Fire Department for four years.
