Man killed after car tears across baseball field during youth game
SANFORD, Maine --
A 68-year-old man was killed after a woman drove her car onto the field during a baseball game in Maine, according to investigators.
Witnesses called police just after 7 p.m. on June 1 to report that the woman had driven through the main gate of Goodall Park in Sanford, Maine, and continued onto the field. Players attempted to dodge the car as it drove erratically across the field, according to police, before hitting a closed gate.
The driver then "sped toward the open main gate" and hit a pedestrian as she fled the scene, investigators said. Authorities later identified the pedestrian as 68-year-old Douglas Parkhurst, who died on the way to the hospital.
Eyewitness video showed a maroon sedan driving across the field as onlookers yelled for the driver to get off the field. Another clip shows a group of people standing over a person lying facedown on the ground in what appears to be the parking lot; it's not clear if Parkhurst is the person in that clip.
