Woman Fights for Life After Scooter Accident
Cornish, New Hampshire - June 13, 2008
An Upper Valley woman is fighting for her life following a scooter accident.
Police say Marcia Woodbury, 62, of Plainfield, was riding her new scooter on Route 12A in Cornish late Thursday afternoon, when she took one hand off the handlebars to wave to an oncoming motorcyclist. She then crashed into a guardrail. Officials said Woodbury is a novice operator, and her scooter only had 36 miles on it.
Woodbury was wearing a helmet, but was unconscious at the scene.
She is listed in critical condition at the hospital.
I also read in the Eagle times that she did have gear on.
I would have waved and from now on I'll watch my mirrors after I pass.
