Crash With Injuries Shuts Down Interstate 93 In Concord: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord fire and rescue teams, as well as New Hampshire State Police, were sent to a crash near the Exit 12 interchange of Interstate 93 on Tuesday.

Capital Region Fire Dispatch began receiving calls about the crash around 4:15 p.m. Firefighters, traveling southbound toward the area, confirmed the crash. The crash involved a tractor-trailer truck and a Nissan Maxima sedan on the northbound side of the highway.

The fire commander and state police immediately shut down the Interstate with an engine and cruisers blocking the highway for EMTs.

Just before 4:30 p.m., a second ambulance was requested to assist with another patient, while the first one was taken to Concord Hospital.

The fire commander suggested the ambulance travel the wrong way on the northbound offramp from South Main Street to access the highway. A few minutes later, firefighters canceled the second ambulance, saying the second patient chose not to be taken to the hospital.

Firefighters cleared up the scene, including spilled fluids, while a tow truck was requested. They returned to service around 4:45 p.m.
