Snowmobile crash on Lake Potanipo

By Staff | Feb 19, 2019

BROOKLINE – A Massachusetts man sustained severe injuries after a snowmobile rolled onto him Sunday afternoon.

Just before 4 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers learned of a single snowmobile crash on Lake Potanipo in Brookline. The man operating the snowmobile was identified as Michael Patti, 37, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

Patti reportedly lost control of the snowmobile while riding on Lake Potanipo, causing it to roll on top of him. He was not wearing a helmet during the crash, and speed and alcohol may have been contributing factors. Patti was taken to UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester by helicopter to be treated for life threatening injuries. The crash remains under investigation.
