CONCORD, NH — Concord police and fire and rescue teams were kept busy with two major crashes on Monday.

Around 11:30 a.m., police, firefighters, and EMTs were sent to North State Street near Parmenter Road for a report of a crash. At first, responders thought only two vehicles were involved: a Toyota pickup truck rear-ending another pickup truck, a Chevrolet. But later, they realized a CAT bus was also involved in the crash.

Police began rerouting southbound traffic away from the area onto Sewalls Falls Road. More officers headed to the area to assist.
