BERLIN â On the afternoon of Saturday, March 13, a Massachusetts woman sustained a significant leg injury after putting her foot down to steady herself during a slow speed snowmobile roll.
At approximately 3:45 p.m., Alison Pacheco, 31, of Swanzey, Mass. was a passenger on a snowmobile being operated by a family member. While negotiating an uphill portion of the Kilowatt Trail in Jericho Mountain State Park, the snowmobile upon which Pacheco was riding dropped a ski into a divot in the trail, causing the machine to tip to one side. It is believed that Pacheco instinctively put a foot down to stop a rollover, which resulted in a leg injury.
