Speed & Alcohol Suspected In Deadly NH Snowmobile Crash

GILMANTON, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man has died in an early morning snowmobile crash in Barnstead.

Authorities say Aaron E. Brown of Dover was operating a snowmobile on private property at about 1:15 a.m. Saturday when he failed to negotiate a turn in a trail and collided with several trees. Brown was wearing a helmet.

Authorities say it appears that speed and alcohol may have contributed to the crash.
