NEW LONDON, N.H. (AP) – The Maine man injured in an iceboat crash in New Hampshire that killed his brother is improving in the hospital.
David Fortier, 47, of Biddeford, was listed in fair condition Monday at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. He had been in critical condition.
Fortier was injured, and his brother, Wayne Fortier, 67, of Wellesley, Mass., a former Auburn, Maine, businessman, was killed, when their iceboats collided on Lake Sunapee on Feb. 19.
Officials said at the time of the collision, David Fortier was testing conditions on the lake, where strong winds threatened to cancel an ice-yachting regatta.
The sport involves wedge-shaped wooden sailboats that glide across the ice on skates.
