DUNBARTON — New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers were notified of a single ATV crash involving a male operator and a female passenger on the Stark Pond Trail at approximately 6:45 p.m. July 28.
Ryan Routhier, 33, of Warner, New Hampshire was operating an ATV with Anne Klucinec, 21, of Warner, New Hampshire as a passenger.
As they approached a corner, Routhier accelerated rapidly and subsequently lost control of the machine causing it to roll onto its side.
Both occupants of the ATV sustained serious bodily injury as a result of the rollover crash on the trail, which is part of the Hopkinton-Everett OHRV Trail System.
