Boston Man Seriously Injured In ATV Crash In New Hampshire

WINCHESTER, NH — At approximately 4 p.m. June 30, New Hampshire Fish and Game was notified of an ATV accident located on Old Chesterfield Road in Winchester near the trailhead of an ATV trail system.

The operator, Moises Baez of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was suffering from serious injuries.

Keene Mutual Aid took the initial call dispatching Winchester Fire/ EMS and Winchester Police who arrived quickly on scene and were able to render aid to Baez. Initially, Baez was transported to Cheshire Medical facility where he was later transported to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where he received medical attention for his serious injuries.

After an investigation by New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officers, they found Baez had been driving down Old Chesterfield Road at an unsafe speed when he lost control of the machine. Once he lost control, the machine veered off the trail, hitting a berm off-trail. This sent the machine and rider into the air. The damage was found in trees roughly 6 feet in the air. From the initial point, Baez lost control, the machine traveled more than 30 feet before coming to rest.

Baez was cited for operating an OHRV to endanger a person and the investigation is ongoing. New Hampshire Fish and Game remind riders to ride courteously and safely. Unsafe riding can hurt yourself and the many other riders that enjoy New Hampshire’s trail system.
