Exeter Driver Charged With Negligent Operation After I-95 Crash: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A man from Exeter was charged with negligent operation after a crash on Interstate 95 last week, which sent him and a resident of Massachusetts to the hospital.

Around 4 p.m. on Jan. 12, state police were sent to the Hampton side toll plaza for a crash between three vehicles. According to a preliminary investigation by the New Hampshire State Police, a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, being driven by Keith Wheeler, 59, of Exeter, “crossed into oncoming traffic at the toll plaza and struck a 2024 Subaru Impreza” being driven by a man from Methuen, Massachusetts, according to state police. After crashing into the Subaru, Wheeler was accused of continuing to drive into the oncoming traffic, striking a 2018 Toyota Corolla head-on. The Corolla was being driven by a woman from Tewksbury, MA.

She and Wheeler were taken to the hospital with injuries. He was charged with negligent operation and is due in Hampton District Court in March.

The area was shut down for around 30 minutes during the towing process of the vehicles.

Hampton police and fire and rescue teams assisted state police at the scene.

100-Plus Commercial Vehicle Violations Reported In Plaistow

New Hampshire State Police, along with officers from Plaistow, stopped 87 vehicles on Jan. 13, resulting in 106 violations.

The effort was part of a joint community enforcement initiative targeting unsafe operations of commercial vehicles, state police said.

“Members of both agencies worked together on an enhanced enforcement patrol to deter and detect excessive speed, violations of weight restrictions, driving on restricted roads, as well as other unsafe behaviors by commercial drivers,” a report stated.

Forty-four of the 87 vehicles were commercial. The violations were discovered during the inspection process. Ten drivers and eight vehicles were placed out of service and removed from the roadway “for critical safety violations and improper driver credentialing,” according to the report. Another 14 summonses and 39 warnings were issued, ranging from stop sign violations to drivers operating in violation of federal out-of-service orders.

Troopers Investigate Conway Cruiser Crash

State police were requested to Conway on Jan. 12 to investigate a crash between a crossover vehicle and a police cruiser.

The crash occurred on the White Mountain Highway near Eastman Road. The officer was driving north when they reported a violation on a southbound vehicle. While attempting to make a U-turn, to stop the vehicle, they “failed to perceive and yield” to a 2020 Hyundai Kona, driven by a woman from Conway. The vehicles then collided.

Neither the officer nor the driver of the Kona was injured, but both vehicles “sustained sufficient damage” and required towing from the scene.

The road was closed for around two hours, state police said.
