Someone riding behind the boy, who'd been riding ATVs for years, told officers his machine flipped over multiple times and hit the rider, according to a release.
First responders from Errol Fire & Rescue at the scene determined the boy was hurt badly enough that he needed to be flown to a hospital. A helicopter met them at Milan Airport and took the ATV rider to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, officials said.
