ALLENSTOWN, NH — Allenstown firefighters, Pembroke police, EMTs from the Tri-Town Ambulance, and others were sent to a rollover crash at a store in Suncook.
Around 12:15 p.m., capital region fire dispatch received a call about a vehicle crashing into a propane tank. Police arrived quickly — since the crash was right near the station and firefighters and EMTs were not far behind.
When they all arrived, they found a Honda Fit, on its side, which crashed into a display case full of propane tanks. The tanks were located underneath the store’s sign.

Before landing on its side, the driver of the Fit drove off the side of Allenstown Road and careened into the store's parking lot and the display, losing parts of the vehicle along the way.
Firefighters stretched a line, in case the vehicle caught fire, and EMTs requested a second ambulance.
