FREEDOM, N.H. (AP) - A 19-year-old Maine man has died of injuries suffered when the All-Terrain Vehicle he was riding crashed into a tree in New Hampshire.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said Jason Phair of Gorham died early Monday at Conway Memorial Hospital.
Phair, who was living with his girlfriend and her parents in Conway, was attending a party in Freedom. Partygoers were taking turns riding on the ATV. The department says Phair rode as a passenger, then took a ride on his own. The department says he wasn't wearing a helmet and it appears he lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree at about 1 a.m.
Phair was brought back to the house, where someone called 911 at about 2:30 a.m. and he was taken to the hospital.
