An Out-Of-Control Driver Crashed Into A Little League Baseball Game In Maine.. Hero Dies (Video)

SANFORD (NEWS CENTER Maine) — A West Newfield man has died from his injuries after being struck by a vehicle at a baseball field in Sanford Friday night, according to police.

Corporal Matthew Gagne of the Sanford Police Department identified the victim as Douglas Parkhurst, 68. He said Carol Sharrow, 52, of Sanford has been arrested in the case. Investigators don’t know yet of a motive.

Sharrow has been charged with manslaughter, according to Cpl. Gagne. Police on scene said they responded just after 5 p.m.

“She entered through the gates behind us and entered onto the field, and then exited the field and exited the ballpark, striking a male in the roadway,” Cpl. Gagne said.

“There was a ballgame going on at the time,” Cpl. Gagne said, “so the stands were full. There were kids out on the field at the time as well.”

Justin Clifton told NEWS CENTER Maine he was playing basketball when he witnessed the incident.

“I saw the car pull out of the gate right over there,” he said, “and this guy had some kids with him. After the car got off the field, [the driver] came to the gate and the older guy pushed the kids right out of the way. He took the hit for the kids.”

Clifton said he rushed over to Parkhurst and “it did not look good.” He added other people jumped over the fence to get to him.

“We can’t even have kids play baseball without someone getting hurt. You get very angry as well. You just have a lot of emotions when you see that.”

However, what was viewed as a hero’s death became complicated when the news landed 400 miles to the west in Fulton, N.Y. There, five years ago, Parkhurst walked into a local police station to confess to the 1968 hit-and-run death of Carolee Ashby. The 4-year-old, cut down crossing a street on Halloween, haunted the close-knit Oswego County region for decades, prompting cold-case investigators to repeatedly try to identify the driver responsible. via WashingtonPost
