Good Samaritans Save Warner Man From Burning Prius After Crash: New Hampshire State Police

CONCORD, NH — A man from Warner was saved from a burning car with the assistance of Good Samaritans who stopped and help him after a crash on Interstate 89 on Sunday.

New Hampshire State Police as well as fire and rescue teams from Hopkinton and Warner were sent to a crash on I-89 around 11:30 a.m. The driver of 2013 Toyota Prius, Zachary Brock, 41, of Warner, “began experiencing a medical event” and crashed the car off to the left side of the highway, “striking the guardrail numerous times,” Amber Lagace, a public information officer for the New Hampshire State Police, said.

“As a result,” she said, “the operator lost control, veered to the right, driving off the road, striking an embankment where the vehicle rolled over and caught on fire. Brock was pulled from the fiery crash by numerous good Samaritans who had stopped prior to the New Hampshire State Police arriving on scene.”

Brock was taken to Concord Hospital.

The Interstate was shut down while firefighters extinguished the car. Later, the left lane of the highway was reopened.

Along with Hopkinton and Warner firefighters, the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office, New Hampshire Forest Service, and Warner police helped at the scene.

If anyone has information regarding this incident, contact Trooper Ryan St. Cyr at 603-223-8941 or Ryan.T.StCyr@dos.nh.gov.

Motorcycle Crash In Rochester

A motorcyclist and passenger were sent to the hospital with serious injuries after a crash in Rochester on Saturday.

Around 8:30 p.m., state police and Rochester fire and rescue teams were sent to a Harley-Davidson crash on the Spaulding Turnpike Connector near the northbound Exit 16 offramp from Route 16.

“The motorcycle was … traveling westbound on the connector when it crossed the centerline and went off the roadway on the eastbound side,” Lagace said.

The motorcyclist was taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital with life-threatening injuries; the passenger was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with serious injuries. Neither of them was wearing helmets at the time of the crash.

The highway was closed for around two hours during the investigation.

All aspects of this crash remain under investigation by New Hampshire State Police and no charges have been filed at this time, Lagace said.

New Hampshire State Police is requesting anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact Trooper Jonathan Minnich by email at Jonathan.D.Minnich@dos.nh.gov.

North Country Man Accused Of Sexual Assault, Other Crimes

A man from North Conway was arrested on child sexual assault and other charges on Monday after a multi-month investigation.

State police arrested Matthew Lautenschlager, 29, on aggravated felonious sexual assault, manufacturing child sexual abuse images, and seven certain uses of computer services prohibited charges, all felons.

The investigation into Lautenschlager began in July after the Carroll County Attorney’s Office referred a case to state police from Conway police.

“Troop E detectives conducted an investigation, with the assistance of the New Hampshire State Police Special Investigations Unit, into multiple social media accounts in which Lautenschlager solicited minors for child sex abuse images,” Lagace said. “This portion of the investigation, along with multiple interviews with minors ultimately resulted in Lautenschlager’s arrest.”

Lautenschlager was held on preventive detention and appeared in superior court on Tuesday.
