BERLIN — On Sunday at approximately 12:30 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game was notified of a snowmobile crash on Corridor 19 in Jericho Mountain State Park.

Conservation officers along with Berlin Fire and EMS personnel responded to assist the William Welch, 74, of Berlin. At the scene, it was determined that Welch, an experienced snowmobile operator, was riding last in a group of four when he failed to navigate a lefthand corner properly. His snowmobile’s ski got caught in the powder next to the trail, pulling him off to the side. This caused Welch to lose control and crash into a tree. A member of Welch’s riding party called for assistance.
