ROXBURY, ME. (THECOUNT) — Gregory Simmons, of Andover, Maine, has been identified as the victim of a fatal snowmobile accident in Roxbury, a town in Oxford County, Maine, on Thursday night.
Simmons, 47, was involved in a deadly snowmobile crash Thursday in the Oxford County town of Roxbury, according to the Maine Warden Service.
An area snowmobiler discovered Simmons’s crashed four-wheeler at about 9 p.m., Maine game wardens said.

Wardens said they believe Simmons had been at a local restaurant having dinner and was riding his snowmobile home when the crash occurred.
Speed appears to be a factor in the crash, officials noted in a report.
