FRANCONIA, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire State Police say a collision involving two skiers at Cannon Mountain Ski Area left a Massachusetts man dead.

State police say that the ski patrol found 39-year-old Jeremy Keiran, of Somerville, Mass., unresponsive around 3 p.m. Friday. Police say efforts to save Keiran’s life were unsuccessful and that he succumbed to his injuries on the mountain.

Police say 48-year-old Robert Slocum of Newburyport, Mass. was transported to a hospital for serious, non-life threatening injuries from the collision.
