A Sunapee, New Hampshire resident was injured Saturday afternoon in a snowmobile accident in Pittsburg, reports the NH Fish and Game Department.
According to the report, Terrie Kelly, 53, of Sunapee, crashed her snowmobile at approximately 3:45 PM on Saturday, January 23rd, on Pittsburg’s Round Pond. She was reportedly trying to exit the pond and return to shore when she struck a rock under the snow.
Kelly told authorities that, prior to reaching the shore, she had attempted to evade a patch of slush, which left her vehicle off-center to the exit trail. The snowmobile’s front left side hit the snow-covered rock, causing the rear of the vehicle to spin right. This ejected Kelly over the handlebars and through the windshield.
She was transported to Colebrook’s Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital to be treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
At this time, authorities believe that the primary factor in the accident was the hidden rock.
