Emergency medical services started to administer treatment to the child at the scene before transporting them to Elliot Hospital in Manchester, New Hampshire for serious injuries. Ball was also sent to Elliot Hospital for injuries. Ball's condition is not known at this time.
Officials believe "excessive speed" played a part in the crash and that neither Ball nor the young child were wearing helmets. In New Hampshire, minors under 18 years old are required to wear a helmet when operating an OHRV or snowmobile.
No other information is known at this time.
