Dartmouth Doctor Seriously Injured in Snowmobile Crash

Twin Mountain, NH - A Dartmouth man is recovering after crashing his snowmobile in New Hampshire Monday.

Beattie sustained serious injuries, but was quickly located by his friends and was flown to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon for treatment. His condition is unknown at this time.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Beattie is a doctor of primary care sports medicine at Hawthorn Medical Associates on Faunce Corner Road in Dartmouth.
