Temple Historical Society Building Damaged in Hit-and-Run

  • Published

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what seems to be a vehicle running into the Historical Society Building in Temple.

Reports are that the driver allegedly left without reporting the incident. The building did sustain significant damage.

According to The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office:

Deputy Austin Couture took a report of a vehicle striking the building at the corner of Day Mountain Road and Intervale Road in Temple. At some point throughout the day someone failed to negotiate the corner and struck the Historical Society Building. The section of building that was hit was the old Post Office built in 1811. The building sustained significant damage. We believe the vehicle that hit the building was a pickup truck, Jeep or similar size vehicle due to the height of the damage. The operator left the scene and never reported this crash to the Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone has any information about the person or vehicle responsible, please call Franklin County Communications Center at 207-778-6140.
