YORK, Maine—Maine State Police say a 27-year-old man from Canada has died after the car he was riding in struck a moose on the Maine Turnpike.

Police told WMTW-TV that Christopher Miller, of New Brunswick, was killed after the car he was in hit a moose in York late Saturday night.

Troopers said the car rolled several times after hitting the animal and came to rest against a tree. The driver suffered serious head injuries, but a woman who was in the back seat walked away with only cuts and bruises.

Police said the three were driving from New Brunswick to Massachusetts to attend a concert.
