Two Massachusetts women were hurt after crashing two all-terrain vehicles in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, Saturday.

Amy Heath, 27, of Halifax, Massachusetts, another rider in Walsh's group, then tried to turn her ATV around to help Walsh.

The vehicle reportedly rolled over and threw Heath to the ground.

Walsh and Heath were both taken to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, New Hampshire, and treated for their injuries.
