COLEBROOK — New Hampshire Fish and Game responded to several snowmobile accidents in Coos County over the past week.
On Monday, around noon, Fish and Game was notified of a snowmobile crash with injuries near the Junction of Corridor 5 and Corridor 18 in Colebrook.

The operator, Thomas Kelsey, 62, of Bethlehem, Conn., was attempting to rapidly accelerate while making a left turn, also known as a doughnut, and was ejected off the snowmobile onto the hard, icy snowpack, sustaining injuries. The snowmobile was not damaged.
