No charges against Renegade Monster Truck Tour after incident in Topsham

Topsham Police have decided that no charges will be filed against the event organizer or anyone involved in an accident that left several people injured at a monster truck event in Topsham last Saturday.

Gregory Winchenbach of Jefferson was driving the monster truck The Crustacean at the time of the accident. His truck jumped on the track, hit a power line hanging over the track and knocked down two power poles. The poles and lines fell on several spectators, some of whom were injured, but not seriously, according to police.

Although no criminal charges will be filed, spectators could file a civil lawsuit against the company or the exhibition center.

Neither Renegade Monster Truck Tour owner Zane Rettew nor organizers of the Topsham Fairgrounds have responded to repeated requests for comment since the incident.

Renegade Monster Truck Tour is currently being sued in another case in Indiana. A plaintiff claims he suffered serious injuries when he was struck by a T-shirt fired from a T-shirt cannon, according to a report from WMTW. Renegade Monster Truck Tour denies the allegations.
