Massachusetts couple seriously injured in ATV rollover crash in New Hampshire

BERLIN, N.H. — A Massachusetts couple was seriously injured when the ATV they were riding flipped over at a state park in New Hampshire.

Emergency crews responding to a report of an ATV crash in Jericho Mountain State Park in Berlin on Friday afternoon found Robert and Melissa Totaro, both 41, of Auburn, suffering from serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, according to the New Hampshire Fish Game Law Enforcement Division.

While descending a long hill, the couple encountered oncoming traffic and attempted to navigate to the far right side of the trail, but their ATV went over a berm, became unstable, and rolled over, investigators said.

Robert and Melissa were both wearing helmets and eye protection at the time of the crash, which significantly reduced injuries, according to officials.

The couple was taken Androscoggin Valley Hospital for evaluation and additional treatment.

The crash remains under investigation.
