According to state police, troopers were called to southbound side of Route 16 in Dover for a reported rollover at around 3 a.m.

The preliminary investigation into the accident revealed that Labo’s 2001 Honda Accord was allegedly “traveling at a high rate of speed” on the northbound side of the highway and “failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway.” He reportedly crashed into a guardrail that separates both sides of the route, rolled over across the guardrail, and then the vehicle stopped on its roof in the southbound lane.

Labo was taken by Dover Fire and Rescue to Wentworth Douglas Hospital where he was treated with non-life threatening injuries and then, arrested. He’s due in court on Nov. 10.

The southbound side was shutdown for about an hour while the crash was investigated and the scene cleared, according to state police.

Although alcohol and speed appear to have been factors in the causation of this crash, this incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information pertaining to this incident is asked to contact Trooper John Forbes, New Hampshire State Police, Troop-A, at 603-223-8490.
