Motorcycle Riders Suffer 'Life-Threatening Injuries' After Route 106 Crash

LOUDON, NH – Two New Hampshire motorcyclists remain hospitalized after a crash yesterday morning on Route 106 in Loudon, according to a press statement.

At just after 11 a.m. on June 12, 2016, Loudon Police were sent to a motor vehicle accident between a motorcycle and a Kia Sorento near the Cascade Campground, according to a report. When police and first responders arrived, they found a man in his early 50s from Freedom, and a woman in her late 40s from Fremont, who had been riding a 2002 Harley-Davidson, injured after a collision with the Sorento. The Sorento cut into the path of the motorcycle "for unknown reasons at this time," according to Bryan Plamondon of the NHSP.

The pair suffered “life-threatening injuries and were transported to area hospitals,” he noted, adding that they are still being cared for at post time.

Neither the driver of the Kia – an elderly woman from Leominster, MA – nor children that were passengers in her SUV, were injured, according to the report.

Concord Police and Fire and Rescue teams assisted at the scene, Plamondon noted, and no charges have been filed in the incident.

At this time, the crash investigation is being handled by the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit with assistance from the Loudon Police Department.

Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact Trooper First Class Bryan Plamondon 603-223-8677 or by email at bryan.plamondon@dos.nh.gov.
