Youth Snowmobile Operator Injured in Claremont Crash

A youth snowmobile operator was injured following a crash in Claremont, according to a press release from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

At approximately 6 PM on Saturday, February 13th, Fish and Game received notice of a snowmobile accident on Claremont’s Trail 387. A Conservation Officer, along with members from the Claremont Fire, Claremont Police, and Golden Cross Ambulance, responded to the scene of the accident.

Reportedly, the operator of the snowmobile was riding with a group of six individuals when they went off the right side of the trail and collided with a tree.

The craft’s operator, a minor from Keene, sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries in the crash and was transported to Valley Regional Hospital to receive treatment.

At this time, officials believe that rider fatigue and difficult terrain caused the crash.
