Hooksett Rest Area Crash, Trucking Checks, Arrests: NHSP Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A Massachusetts woman was found not to be impaired after she drove her sedan into the general store at the Hooksett Rest Area on I-93 South on Saturday. New Hampshire State Police were sent to the rest area at just after 9 p.m. on June 1, 2019, for a report of a crash. Troopers found that the vehicle drove across a curb and then struck the southeast corner of the store, causing damage to a wall and siding, according Lt. Michael Commerford of Troop D.

Neither the 55-year-old driver nor anyone else were injured as a result of the crash which is still under investigation.

“The operator was not found to be impaired and alcohol is not believed to be a factor,” Commerford stated.

Anyone who has any information regarding this incident should contact Trooper Nicole Stone of the New Hampshire State Police Troop D at 603-227-2178.

Commercial Vehicle Enforcement

During the past week, state troopers conducted commercial motor vehicle checks in a number of New Hampshire communities including Windham.

The saturation enforcement effort was an effort to “reduce traffic collisions involving commercial motor vehicles,” noted Lt. Andrew Player of Troop G.

During the first saturation enforcement on May 28, 129 vehicles were inspected and 218 violations were discovered. At a second one, on May 30, 134 vehicles were inspected and 285 violations issued.

Eighty-six of the violations during both enforcements were so severe, according to Player, that either the vehicle or the driver was taken out of service.
