Londonderry, NH (November 6, 2025) – An off-road vehicle crash involving an ATV led to injury and a complex emergency response on Wednesday morning in a wooded area near Continental Dr. The crash, first reported around 8:15 a.m. on November 5, involved rescue efforts from both Londonderry and Hudson Fire Departments due to uncertainty about the patient’s exact location.
Emergency crews staged in the area surrounding Continental Dr and initiated a search after the injured rider could not be immediately located. A drone was deployed to aid in locating the individual in the rugged terrain. The coordinated search was successful, and the patient was located and quickly treated for injuries sustained during the crash.
Due to the severity of the incident and limited access to the crash site, a medical helicopter was requested to transport the rider to a trauma center. Officials have not yet confirmed the cause of the accident or whether terrain, equipment, or other factors played a role.
At this time, the identity and condition of the rider have not been publicly released. Authorities from both towns are working together to determine jurisdiction and complete the investigation.
We extend our support to the injured individual and wish them a safe and full recovery.
ATV and OHRV Accidents in New Hampshire
New Hampshire’s vast trail systems and wooded landscapes make off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) use, including ATVs, a popular activity year-round. However, the remote nature of these riding areas poses unique risks, particularly when accidents occur far from accessible roads or landmarks. Wednesday’s crash near Continental Dr highlights the difficulty responders face when location details are unclear and terrain complicates access.
In this case, the use of aerial search tools such as drones made a critical difference in locating the injured rider quickly. Still, the incident underscores the importance of safety planning for anyone operating OHRVs, especially in undeveloped or unfamiliar areas. Riders are encouraged to always wear protective gear, ride in groups when possible, and notify someone of their intended route or riding location.
ATV crashes can cause a range of injuries, including fractures, spinal trauma, and internal damage, especially if the rider is thrown from the vehicle or collides with trees or rocks. Immediate medical attention is often necessary, and air transport is sometimes the only viable option due to trail inaccessibility.
As recreational riding continues to grow in popularity across New Hampshire, so does the need for education, preparedness, and proper equipment. Whether on public trails or private land, safety must remain a top priority.
