Westmoreland, NH - On Saturday April 21, 2018 at approximately 3:50pm, NH Fish and Game, NH State Police, Westmoreland Fire and Rescue, and Keene Ambulance responded to a 911 call regarding a single ATV crash with rollover on Aldrich Road in Westmoreland.
A 16 year old female operator from Bridgeport, CT lost control of the ATV while operating on the road resulting in injuries to both herself and her male passenger, Jose Delacruz-Robles, 35 years old, of Stratford, CT. The youth operator was transported to Cheshire Medical Center by ambulance. Delacruz-Robles suffered minor injuries and was released at the scene.
Initial investigation shows that the youth was operating on a town road when she made a sudden right turn causing the ATV to hit a rock-wall and tree stump sending the ATV to rolling down a steep embankment. The ATV landed on both the operator and passenger.
The youth operator did not have a driver's license or an OHRV Safety Certificate. She also was not wearing a helmet or eye protection. The ATV was being illegally operated on a public way and the ATV was unregistered. Citations were issued to both ATV occupants.
