Missing Berlin Motorcyclist Found Dead After Route 2 Crash: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A motorcyclist from Berlin, who had been missing since July 4, was located, deceased, after a crash on Route 2 on Thursday.

At 7:33 p.m. on July 9, 2026, members of the Berlin Police Department requested assistance from the state police in locating Wesley Grondin, 41, of Berlin, who was reported missing. A few hours later, troopers received a call from a concerned resident who had been looking for Grondin along Route 2 in Shelburne. They discovered Grondin dead, along with the motorcycle he had been riding when last seen.

The preliminary investigation determined Grondin was riding his Harley-Davidson on Route 2 westbound in Shelburne when, for reasons that remain under investigation, he crossed over into the opposing lane, struck a post, and came to a final rest in the wood line. The investigation has revealed that the crash occurred just before midnight on July 4. At this time, there is no indication that another vehicle or person was involved.

Troopers were assisted by members of the Berlin Police Department and the Shelburne Fire Department.

All aspects of the crash remain under investigation. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Hunter Newsham at Hunter.P.Newsham@dos.nh.gov.

Driver Sent To The Hospital After Crash

State police were sent to a crash on the Everett Turnpike in Bedford near Mile Marker 17 around 9:15 a.m. on July 9.

The preliminary investigation determined a 2009 Honda Accord, driven by Tyler Abrams, 26, of Derry, was traveling southbound through the Bedford Toll Plaza when it veered into the opposing northbound lanes and collided with a guardrail. The vehicle then traveled back across the highway, struck the center median barrier, and became disabled.

Abrams was transported to an area hospital for minor injuries.

The crash blocked the two left lanes before the toll plaza for approximately an hour and a half while the crash was investigated. Additional troopers from the Special Enforcement Unit, as well as members of the Bedford Fire Department and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, provided assistance.

Anyone with information that may assist the ongoing investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at Evan.R.Puopolo@dos.nh.gov.
