PITTSBURG, NH — A snowmobiler from Concord was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure on Saturday after a crash in Pittsburg.
Around 3:15 p.m., Pittsburg police and New Hampshire Fish & Game officials were sent to Back Lake for a crash report. A snowmobile rider, Lance Boudreau, 37, of Concord, “was racing a friend on Back Lake at a high-rate speed when suddenly he hit a slush-filled hole in the ice and subsequently lost a ski, which resulted in a rollover,” Lt. Bob Mancini of fish and game said. “The snowmobile sustained major damage and the operator was thrown from the snowmobile.”
