Car Crashes Into Parked Car Closing Concord’s Storrs Street

CONCORD, NH — Part of Storrs Street was closed to early morning traffic on Sunday due to a car crash between South Main and Theatre streets that sent one person to the hospital.

Around 12:45 a.m., police received reports of a crash, with airbag deployment, in at least one vehicle downtown. When officers arrived, they immediately requested fire and rescue teams, due to the seriousness of the crash. Traffic was also re-routed around the accident.

The crash was between a Hyundai Sonata and a Hyundai Elantra — with both of the cars ending up on the sidewalk against a guardrail of the northbound side of the street. Debris was strewn all around the south end of Storrs Street.

One of the officers said he believed one of the Hyundais was a parked car that was “pushed quite a bit up the road” during the crash, according to scanner chatter.

Concord EMTs took one person to the hospital while tow trucks were requested.

Police took inventories of both cars. At around 1:30 a.m., one lane of traffic was opened.

NEWS 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook.

The condition of the driver and whether charges were filed due to the incident were unknown at post time.
