A Jaffrey man was injured in a snowmobile crash in Marlow Saturday.
Fish and Game, state police and Marlow Fire and EMS responded to the single snowmobile crash Saturday around 9:30 a.m. in Marlow between Route 10 and Old Newport Road.
Andrew Thayer, 32, of Jaffrey was crossing Route 10 when his snowmobile hit a snowbank. Thayer then pushed the throttle on his snowmobile causing the machine to crash into a nearby tree, Fish and Game said in a press release.
A call to 911 was made and Thayer was taken to Cheshire Medical Center in Keene evaluation and treatment. Fish and Game said no further information is available at this time.
“A preliminary investigation suggests operator inexperience and inattention to be the primary factors contributing to the crash,” Fish and Game said.
Fish and Game said as a reminder to all snowmobilers that the close of the season as winter thaws can be hazardous and all riders should be cautious. “As the snowmobile season begins to come to a close, riders are reminded that as snow melts it creates more hazards in the trail. A trail may change drastically throughout the day as temperatures warm up.”
