Staff report
The motorcyclist injured in a June 15 accident on Route 4 in Bridgewater died Tuesday morning.
Craig Fairfield, a 62-year-old man from Waterford, New York, was in intensive care at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for a week due to a severe head injury.
Fairfield’s Harley Davidson was struck by a fellow motorcyclist, 76-year-old Peter Fulgan of Green Island, New York, as the two were heading east near Bridgewater Hill Road around 2:30 p.m. June 15. Fairfield slowed to turn left and was hit by Fulgan’s Harley Davidson. Fulgan had a few cuts and scrapes and Fairfield was unresponsive, but breathing, when emergency crews arrived.
Emergency officials asked for a medical helicopter to take Fairfield to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, but the helicopter couldn’t fly due to the weather.
Fairfield was wearing a helmet, according to police.
