Woman and child injured in ATV rollover in Newton
A woman and a minor were hospitalized Sunday after their all-terrain vehicle struck a tree root and rolled over on private property in Newton. Danielle Lynch, 40, of Newton, was operating the ATV with the minor as a passenger about 5 p.m. when the vehicle hit a large tree root, causing it to overturn and throw both riders, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game. A witness immediately called 911 and provided aid. Both victims were transported by ambulance to Exeter Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, they said. Officials said operator inattention appeared to be the cause of the crash. The minor was wearing appropriate safety gear, but Lynch was not wearing a helmet or other protective equipment, Fish and Game said. Riders are reminded to operate within their abilities and always wear proper safety equipment when using off-highway recreational vehicles.

Woman and dog injured in moose attack at Kincaid Park, Anchorage police say
May 17—A woman and a dog were injured in a moose attack Friday evening at Kincaid Park, an Anchorage Police Department spokeswoman said Saturday. The incident reportedly involving a cow moose with a calf nearby happened around 5 p.m. Friday, APD spokeswoman Tess Hagensieker said. Hagensieker said the woman was taken to the hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening, and one dog was hurt as well. Another person in the woman's party called police after the attack occurred, according to Hagensieker. Where in Kincaid Park the incident occurred and additional details weren't immediately available from police. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game was briefed on the incident, Hagensieker said. Additional information about Friday's attack from Fish and Game wasn't immediately available Saturday. During the calving season this time of year, cow moose in particular may be aggressive, according to Fish and Game's webpage on "What to Do About Aggressive Moose." People can be injured when the animals charge, stomp and kick as a result of feeling threatened. "In late spring and summer, cow moose with young calves are very protective and will attack humans who come too close," Fish and Game says on its website. "If you see a calf on its own, be very careful because you may have walked between it and its mother — a very dangerous place to be." Moose have also been known to attack dogs, which they sometimes view as enemies due to their resemblance to wolves, a natural predator of moose. Wildlife encounters such as human-wildlife conflicts and injured, orphaned or aggressive animals can be reported to Fish and Game on the agency's website.
