GORHAM — On the afternoon of Saturday, May 23, a New Hampshire woman was injured after crashing her ATV along the Presidential Rail Trail in Gorham.

At about 2:15 p.m., Christine Gillas, 59, of Hudson, was riding a personally-owned ATV with a group of friends heading southbound from Berlin into Gorham. At the time, dry conditions were causing large clouds of dust to hang in the air along the trails. While driving through the dust clouds, Gillas lost her view and got too close to the edge of the trail. The ATV that she was riding subsequently drifted off the maintained trail and went down a steep embankment, throwing Gillas in the process. Following the crash, Gillas was immediately checked on by members of her riding group.
