“While assisting the Department of Transportation with a road closure, a vehicle drove through the cone package that was set up due to the work zone,” Merrigan alleged. “Officers were able to stop the vehicle and no one was injured.”

The driver – Testa – reportedly agreed to a field sobriety test and then, was arrested.

“Testa had three of her children, all under the age of 16 years of age, in the vehicle,” Merrigan reported. “The children were picked up at the scene by a family member.”

Testa was processed and released on personal recognizance bail. She’s due in Concord District Court on June 12.
