Two Brookline Women Seriously Injured In ATV Crash In Fremont

FREMONT, NH — On May 31, at approximately 10:48 a.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officers were notified of a single ATV rollover involving a female operator and female passenger on the Rockingham Recreation Trail in Fremont.

Nancy Harrison, 42, of Brookline was operating an ATV south bound on a straight portion of the Rockingham Recreation Trail. After a brief ride, she veered off the side of the trail, causing the ATV to roll over and land on top of her. This resulted in serious but non-life threatening injuries. The passenger, Cathie Stanley, 48, of Brookline was thrown from the ATV during the roll over and sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Both parties were wearing helmets and eye protection, which prevented more serious injury. It appears as though operator inexperience is the leading cause of the crash.

Fish and Game personnel along with Fremont Police Department, Raymond Ambulance, and Exeter medical personnel responded to the scene. Raymond Ambulance transported both parties to Elliot Hospital in Manchester.

Fish and Game would like to remind everyone to ride within their capabilities and always wear safety equipment while operating.
