Chichester Teen Seriously Injured During Truck Crash In Sullivan

SULLIVAN, NH — New Hampshire State Police believe “speeding and reckless driving” were “primary factors” of a crash involving a Capital Region teen early Monday morning.

Around 4:30 a.m., state troopers were sent to a single-vehicle crash involving a 2023 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck on Route 9 near Valley Road in Sullivan. The driver, Ayslin Claudio, 19, of Chichester was extracted from the truck by fire and rescue teams and then medflighted to Concord Hospital, according to Tyler Dumont, a public information officer for the New Hampshire State Police, with severe but unknown injuries.

“(Claudio) was traveling westbound when (she) failed to negotiate a curve, and the Tacoma left the road,” he said. “The Tacoma then struck a large boulder and rolled multiple times.”

Route 9 was closed for several hours during the cleanup and investigation, Dumont said, adding Sullivan fire and rescue teams and Keene firefighters assisted troopers.

“Speeding and reckless driving appear to be primary factors of the crash,” he stated.

Anyone who witnessed the crash was asked to contact Trooper Troy Couillard at troy.j.couillard@dos.nh.gov or 603-358-3333.
