COOS COUNTY — N.H. Fish and Game said inexperience and inattention were the primary causes of three snowmobile crashes in Coos County Saturday including crashes in Gorham and Berlin.

The first crash occurred on Corridor 19 at approximately 9:45 a.m. when the driver of a rental snowmobile failed to make on right hand turn and the machine went over a steep bank and rolled over. The operator, Alexandra Portes De Beltre, 29, of Warwick, RI, sustained a serious, but non-life-threatening injury. A passenger on the snowmobile, a male juvenile, was not injured. Emergency medical personnel from Gorham Fire Department and Gorham Ambulance responded to the scene as did a N.H. Fish and Game conservation officer.
