MARLBOROUGH, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) A late-night motorcycle crash on Route 124 in Marlborough left a Jaffrey man with serious injuries Tuesday, according to police.

Emergency crews were called to the area of 231 Route 124 around 11:40 p.m. on Sept. 9, where they found a 39-year-old rider badly hurt after his motorcycle went off the road. He was first taken to Cheshire Medical Center in Keene before being transferred to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon for further treatment.
