A Massachusetts woman was seriously injured when she crashed a snowmobile into a tree after she went off a trail in Bartlett, N.H. with her 10-year-old son on board Monday afternoon, New Hampshire Fish and Game said.
Jiamin Wei, 40, pf Chestnut Hill, was taken to Memorial Hospital in North Conway for treatment of head injuries, the statement said.
The boy was not injured in the crash that occurred shortly before 3 p.m. on Lower Haystack Trail. The woman, who was riding a rented snowmobile as part of a group tour, “failed to negotiate a downhill left-hand turn,” the statement said.
The machine crashed into a tree inside a ditch. The tour guide called for help, according to the statement.
Bartlett police and fire responded to the scene, along with a conservation officer, members of Bartlett /Jackson Ambulance Service, the statement said.
Wei was taken nearly two miles by a rescue sled back to the trailhead.
“Fortunately, the boy was not injured and was able to be driven by snowmobile from the scene,” the statement said.
No further information was available.
