A 2006 GMC Envoy operated by John Dinsmore (32) of Machias was travelling south on Rt. 192 in Northfield.  Dinsmore failed to negotiate a left-hand corner, went off the roadway and rolled over.  Dinsmore was ejected from the vehicle and the vehicle landed on top of him.  He was the lone occupant and was not wearing a seat belt.  Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.  Trooper Kim Sawyer is the primary investigator and was assisted by Washington Sheriff Office, Machias Police Department, Maine Warden Service and Maine Forest Service.  The crash remains under investigation.
