Head-On Crash In Concord Sends 1 To The Hospital: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord police and firefighters were called to a head-on collision Tuesday that led to one driver being transported to the hospital and another being taken into custody by an officer.

Around 10:10 p.m., EMTs and police were sent to North State Street near Knight Street for a report of a crash and when they arrived, quickly closed North State Street.

"There's heavy damage," the first firefighter to arrive stated while also directing the ambulance to access the crash from the north side via Hutchins Street.

Firefighters told dispatch both drivers were out of the vehicle while the first responding officers requested backup because other drivers on North State Street were attempting to access Knight Street in the opposite way of its one-way direction. Firefighters also requested a second ambulance.

One driver was taken to Concord Hospital and the second ambulance was put back in service due to the second driver not needing medical care or transport — witnesses and dispatch reported the driver was taken into custody after her field sobriety test.

The road was closed for a significant amount of time so that police could investigate the crash scene.

Concord police had not responded with arrest or other information before post time.
