CONWAY, N.H. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A Chelmsford hiker is safe after being rescued by New Hampshire officials in the White Mountains earlier this week.
New Hampshire Fish and Game says Mary Ellen Morris was hiking with her husband on the Peaked Mountain Trail above North Conway just after noon on Monday when she slipped and fell on an icy rock.
Officials said she injured her ankle and called 911. Morris was about a mile from the nearest trailhead. Conservation officers and local first responders carried the woman off the mountain with a stretcher, and she was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Fish and Game officials are warning the public that the White Mountains are now covered in ice and snow, despite the lack of winter conditions elsewhere in New England.
