Exeter Motorcyclist Dies In Dover Route 16 Crash: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A motorcyclist from Exeter died in a crash on Monday afternoon in Dover, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Around 12:45 p.m., troopers were sent to Route 16, the Spaulding Turnpike, for a crash report with injuries. When they arrived, they found the driver of a 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle struck the center median guardrail and the riders from the bike. Jason Emerzian, 44, of Exeter, was struck by another vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, Trooper Nicole Stone of state police said. A passenger was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Stone said Emerzian was driving south when he lost control of the motorcycle “for reasons that remain under investigation.” The southbound lanes of the highway were closed for about an hour. Troopers were assisted by Dover police, Dover fire and rescue teams, the NH DOT, the chief medical examiner’s office, and Eddie B’s Towing and Recovery Service.

“All aspects of this crash remain under further investigation by Sgt. Wood” of Troop A, she said.

Anyone with information about the investigation was asked to contact Wood at gary.j.woodjr@dos.nh.gov.

During the effort, 252 vehicles were stopped. Officers doled out 212 warnings and 66 citations.

Fourteen people were also arrested:

“Every contact,” Stone said, “was initiated as the result of a motor vehicle violation.”

The patrols are funded by the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, she said.

“Looking ahead to the fall season,” she said, troopers will continue similar enforcement initiatives. The New Hampshire State Police would like to encourage all motorists to make safe choices before getting behind the wheel. If you are a member of the motoring public and observe a suspected impaired driver, call 911 immediately and be prepared to provide your exact location, including street names and highway mile markers, a plate number, and a description of the vehicle involved, along with the details of your observations.”
