Department of Fish and Game conservation officers were kept busy over the weekend responding to incidents that ranged from lost, shoeless hikers to crashed snowmobiles and more. On Friday, Jan. 22, at approximately 3:45 p.m., conservation officers were notified of a snowmobile crash on Corridor 11 (Jefferson Notch Road) in Jefferson. Courtney Silva, 27, of Rumford, R.I., had been operating a rental snowmobile when she crashed into a tree.
An investigation revealed that while navigating a slight S-turn, Silva veered off the edge of the trail and struck a tree. Silva, who was fourth in a group of five riders, sustained injuries from the crash and a call to 911 call was placed.
