Lawrence Woman Arrested On DWI Charges After Tollbooth Rollover Crash: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A woman from Massachusetts is facing several charges after being accused of drunken driving and rolling a car at the Bedford toll plaza early Sunday morning.

Just before 6:30 a.m., troopers were sent to the southbound side of the Everett Turnpike for a report of a crash. When they arrived, they found a 2009 Honda Accord on its side after it rolled in the toll lane.

Aracelia Valentin, 45, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, sustained minor injuries in the crash and was taken to the hospital.

During their investigation, troopers accused Valentin of being impaired, and she was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving under the influence, and reckless conduct. She is due in Merrimack District Court on April 21.

Four of the lanes were closed for about an hour during the cleanup.

State police said the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and Bedford firefighters assisted at the scene.

Elderly Driver Accused Of Wrong-Way Driving

A woman from Newmarket was arrested on March 23 after being accused of wrong-way driving.

Around 8:45 p.m., troopers were sent to Route 101 in Exeter for a report of a woman driving a car west in the eastbound lanes. Troopers caught up with the 2013 Honda Civic and confirmed the driver was traveling in the wrong direction.

One trooper attempted to stop the car, and as they did, the driver of the Honda, Nancy Poussard, 73, of Newmarket, struck the trooper cruiser, according to a report. After the crash, Poussard corrected direction in Brentwood, state police said. She was stopped later and charged with conduct after an accident, reckless operation, and negligent driving. Poussard is due in Brentwood District Court on May 5.

Troopers were assisted by officers from Exeter, Stratham, Epping, Raymond, and Brentwood, as well as members of the Brentwood Fire Department.
