The operator of the truck was identified as Leo Pilote (54) of Loudon, NH. He was operating a 2003 Peter-built and was making a left hand turn onto Main Street, from Beechwood St. at the time of the incident.
The pedestrian identified as Louise Demers (67) of Rockport was transported to Pen Bay Medical
Center in Rockport for non-life threatening injuries. The crash is still currently under investigation. It appears Pilote did not see Demers as she crossed in front of him while in the crosswalk.

The Sheriff's Office requested the assistance of Lincoln County Sheriff's Office to reconstruct to crash.
