A Greenville man was airlifted with serious injuries after a snowmobile crash in Brookline on Saturday.
At about 5:28 p.m. on Saturday, New Hampshire Fish and Game and Brookline emergency services responded to Lake Potanipo for a report of a snowmobile rider that had crashed and been thrown from his vehicle.
Witnesses to the crash told police that Myles Leclerc, 25, of Greenville, was operating his snowmobile at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the machine and was ejected.
Leclerc sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash, and was flown by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advance Response Team helicopter to UMass Medical Center in Worcester, Mass., for further evaluation and treatment.
Leclerc was discharged from UMass Medical on Sunday, according to UMass Medical Media and Public Relations Manager Debora Spano.
New Hampshire Fish and Game were assisted on the scene by Brookline Police, Brookline Fire Department and Brookline Ambulance.
Brookline Police declined to comment on the incident, directing questions to Fish and Game. The responding officer did not return calls by press time Monday.
New Hampshire Fish and Game are investigating the crash. Anyone with information about the crash should contact Conservation Officer Thomas Houghton at New Hampshire Fish and Game at 271-3361.
