TUFTONBORO, N.H. (AP) – A Massachusetts snowmobiler landed in the hospital after a crash early Sunday that sent him flying more than 100 feet through the air over frozen Lake Winnipesaukee.
Richard Drew, 26, of Marblehead, was speeding across the lake around 2:30 a.m., when he hit a snowdrift and launched himself into the air, said Fish and Game Officer Mark Hensel. Drew landed 100 feet away, injuring his hip and suffering possible internal injuries. Drew was alone on the snowmobile.
Friends who were snowmobiling with him brought him to to shore.
Investigators believe excessive speed and alcohol were involved, Hensel said.
