New Boston Man Injured In ATV Crash In Northern New Hampshire

COLUMBIA, NH — On Saturday, New Hampshire Fish and Game received a call from Colebrook Dispatch for an ATV crash that occurred on Diamond Peaks Trail in Columbia. The caller stated that the patient was being transported out by a member of his riding party to the Diamond Peaks Store in Colebrook.

NH Conservation Officers, Colebrook Fire and Police Departments and 45th Parallel Ambulance responded to the Diamond Peaks Store in Colebrook at just before noon, and met the patient, Jared Huczek of New Boston.

While first aid was rendered to the patient, a Conservation Officer spoke with Huczek’s riding party. They stated that they had left from Milan that morning with the intent to get lunch in Colebrook. Due to the dust and activity on the trails, they spaced themselves out fairly far to avoid collisions.

After crossing a bridge, Huczek, who was third in line, hit a large bump in the trail, and got thrown from the machine, over its handlebars and was likely struck by it as the machine rolled over. He was wearing a chest protector and full helmet, which likely protected him from greater injury.

His riding partner behind him did not see he crash occur due to the spacing of the machines, but rushed to his side when he saw Huczek on the trail. A 911 call was placed and Huczek was transported to meet the 45th Parallel Ambulance, which subsequently transported Huczek to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital (UCVH) in Colebrook.
