The 91-year-old man who was seriously injured last week when a pickup truck crashed into his golf cart in North Anson has died from his injuries, a law enforcement official said.

Earl Viles died Monday, Chief Deputy Mike Mitchell of the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Wednesday.

Mitchell also said Wednesday no criminal charges are expected in connection with the crash, as the driver who struck Viles’ golf cart was not at fault.

Viles, of Anson, was seriously injured July 31 in a crash around 5 p.m. on Valley Road in North Anson, also known as Route 234, Mitchell said previously.

Investigators believe Viles, driving west in a gas-powered Yamaha golf cart, started to make a sudden U-turn near the intersection with Parlin Road when he was struck by a 2025 Ram pickup truck also heading west and driven by a 78-year-old Anson man, Mitchell said.

Before the crash, the driver of the pickup truck had started to pass the golf cart and moved across the centerline, partially into the eastbound lane, Mitchell said. The driver was unable to stop before colliding with the turning golf cart.

Viles was taken by ambulance to Redington-Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan and flown to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Mitchell said. The other driver was not injured, he said.

The Morning Sentinel is not naming the driver of the pickup because he has not been criminally charged.

It is generally not legal to operate a golf cart on a roadway in Maine, Mitchell said. There are some exceptions, such as roads on islands if a municipality allows it.

Anson voters recently changed the town ordinances to allow ATVs on roads, Mitchell said. But most golf carts do not meet the specifications to be registered as an ATV, he said, unless they are modified significantly.

Mitchell said law enforcement has wide discretion in enforcing traffic rules and the Sheriff’s Office had no intention of issuing a citation to Viles before his death.
