NHSP Investigating Hit-And-Run On I-293

MANCHESTER, NH — New Hampshire State Police troopers out of Troop B in Bedford are investigating a possible hit-and-run accident that sent three people to the hospital on May 26, 2017, according to a press alert. Troopers were sent to I-293 South in Manchester just north of Exit 6 for a rollover crash with injuries at around 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Witnesses alleged that the rollover was caused by a hit-and-run driver, according to Lt. N.A. Noyes of the NHSP.

“The suspect vehicle was described as a dark blue four-door Subaru, possibly a Legacy, with New Hampshire plates,” Noyes alleged. “Prior to the collision, witnesses described the suspect vehicle as driving aggressively at speeds in excess of 100 mph and also passing in breakdown lanes. The suspect vehicle was making a pass in the left breakdown lane when it sideswiped one vehicle, then the suspect vehicle struck a second vehicle, causing the second vehicle to rollover.”

Three occupants of the vehicle – an adult driver and two children – were sent to Catholic Medical Center with minor injuries. State Police were assisted at the scene by the Manchester Fire Department and AMR Ambulance.

The Subaru, according to Noyes, was also reportedly seen in the area of I-93 South in Concord before the crash. The vehicle should have fresh damage on the front-end and the passenger side of the vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to call Trooper First Class Christopher Cummings at 603-223-8674.
