STRATFORD, N.H. — 

New Hampshire Fish and Game officials said a 32-year-old man died during an ATV crash in Stratford. 

The accident happened Friday at 3 p.m. Joshua Maguire of Blairstown, New Jersey, was leaving a family camp on Potato Hill Road - when he failed to negotiate a turn and went off the road, authorities said. 

Potato Hill Road is also an ATV trail, and authorities said it is maintained as such. Maguire was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Fish and Game worked with New Hampshire State Police on their investigation and determined that speed was a major contributing factor in the crash.
