Winchester, NH – At approximately 11:30 a.m., on Saturday, November 7, 2026, NH fish and Game Conservation Officers were notified of two individuals who had suffered injuries as a result of an ATV crash. The operator, identified as Gregory Bodenair, 39, of Dedham, MA, had been riding with a passenger on John Hill Road in Pisgah State Park when he lost control of his machine and went over an embankment.
As a result of being thrown from the ATV, Bodenair and his 59-year-old male passenger sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Neither individual was wearing a helmet. Another riding companion called for emergency services. Winchester Fire and EMS and a Conservation Officer responded to the scene. Both Bodenair and his passenger were transported by Winchester EMS to Cheshire Medical Center in Keene for further evaluation and treatment of their injuries. Upon investigation, the main cause of the crash is believed to be operator inexperience.
