KEENE, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) Two men were taken to Cheshire Medical Center in Keene with serious but non-life-threatening injuries following an ATV crash Saturday morning in Winchester.

The crash happened at approximately 11:30 a.m. Nov. 7 on John Hill Road in Pisgah State Park, where a 39-year-old Dedham, Massachusetts, man was operating an ATV with a passenger when the vehicle went out of control and plunged over an embankment.

Both the operator, identified as Gregory Bodenair, and his 59-year-old male passenger were thrown from the ATV and injured. Neither was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, according to a news release from New Hampshire Fish and Game.

A fellow member of the riding group contacted emergency services for assistance. Winchester Fire and EMS personnel and a Fish and Game conservation officer responded to the scene.

Both men were transported by Winchester EMS to Cheshire Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment.

Following an investigation, conservation officers believe the crash was primarily caused by the operator’s inexperience.
