Hudson Woman Seriously Injured in Woodstock Snowmobile Crash

WOODSTOCK, NH — A Hudson woman was hospitalized Sunday afternoon following a snowmobile accident on a steep section of Primary Trail 156.

New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officers were alerted to a crash involving injuries just before 1 pm Sunday. A multi-agency rescue effort was launched, including personnel from the Woodstock Fire Department, Woodstock police, and Lin-Wood Ambulance.

The operator, identified as 58-year-old Lisa Wright, was traveling southbound on what officials described as a "steep and winding" portion of the trail. While navigating the terrain, Wright lost control of her snowmobile, causing the machine to roll into the soft snow at the trail's edge.

Wright was thrown from the vehicle upon impact. Her riding partners, who witnessed the crash, immediately came to her aid and contacted emergency services.

Because the crash site was near Route 112, emergency crews reached Wright quickly. She was treated on-site for a serious, non-life-threatening leg injury before being transported by Lin-Wood Ambulance to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth.

Following an on-scene investigation, conservation officers identified two main causes of the accident: Rider inexperience and variable trail conditions.

Authorities remind riders to remain cautious, as fluctuating temperatures can cause unpredictable trail conditions, especially on technical or steep terrain.
