BURLINGTON, MA — It was an early morning rescue by ATV Sunday in Jefferson, N.H. A Burlington family was freed after being stuck in their minivan for nearly seven hours.

“We realized without any help we’ll be stuck here for the whole night,” said Dattu Prajapati.

The family was stranded on Jefferson Notch Road, which is restricted to snowmobiles only during the winter months. Prajapati said his GPS led him down that road. He tried to turn around, but the van got stuck in the snow. They were several miles from a main road running low on gas.
