WESTFIELD — A 29-year-old Bridgewater man died last Tuesday morning in a single vehicle crash in Westfield.
According to the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office, at approximately 1:38 a.m. July 19, dispatchers received a call from a Westfield resident reporting that a car crash had occurred. Arriving emergency responders found Randy A. Brown dead at the scene.
Preliminary investigation indicates that Brown was the sole occupant when his 2007 Ford Focus left the Miller Road. The car rolled, vaulted and ejected Brown. The Medical Examiner’s office has determined the cause of death was massive head trauma. Speed and alcohol are contributing factors to the crash, according to police.

Deputy Sheriff Ross McQuade reports the crash continues to be under investigation.
