Albany, NH – On Saturday, March 14, shortly after 1:00 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game was notified that a hiker had injured her ankle and needed assistance. The hiker was Martha Murray, 76, of Bridgewater, MA. Murray was hiking down the Sabbaday Falls Trail when she slipped and injured her ankle. She was wearing proper footwear and was using micro spikes at the time. Murray could not place weight on her injured ankle and a member of her group hiked out and placed a call for assistance.
Along with Conservation Officers, members of Conway Fire and Rescue responded. Using a snowmachine, rescuers were able to reach her location, and she was driven out to the trailhead. Murray was treated at the trailhead and taken by ambulance to the Memorial Hospital in North Conway for evaluation.
