Manchester Man Charged With DWI After Crash In Bedford On I-293

BEDFORD, NH — A man from Manchester was arrested on a drunken driving charge after a crash on Interstate 293 in Bedford on Sunday.

Around 8:30 p.m., troopers were sent to a report of a crash at Mile Marker 4.6 on the northbound side of the highway. When they arrived, they found a 2010 silver Honda Civic with “significant damage” and “in the woods behind the guardrail off the right side of the highway,” Amber Lagace, the public information officer, for New Hampshire State Police, said.

The driver, Marvin Collins, 43, of Manchester, sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment. His impairment, Lagace said, “appears to be the primary contributing factor to the crash.” Collins was charged later with driving while intoxicated and operating on a suspended license.

“Troopers at the scene were assisted by members of the Bedford Fire Department and the Department of Transportation as the right lane in the area of this crash was closed for approximately two hours during this incident,” she added.

Anyone who witnessed or may have additional information regarding the crash was asked to contact Trooper Madelynn Davis at 603-223-3777 or Madelynn.M.Davis@dos.nh.gov.
