Foxboro Man Saved After Falling On Hike In New Hampshire

A Foxborough man was rescued over the weekend after falling while trying to navigate a narrow bridge and carry his son during a hike in New Hampshire.

Michael Kelly, age 35, was saved on Sunday, July 28, after he slipped around noon and fell while hiking along the Greeley Ponds Trail, New Hampshire wildlife officials said.

He was carrying his young son and fell from a wooden bridge causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The boy was not hurt.

A Good Samaritan gave him her phone so he could call her help.

The Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team hiked more than a mile to reach Kelly, attend to his wounds, and help him back to the trailhead, where paramedics were waiting to take him to a nearby hospital, authorities said.
