Multi-Vehicle Crash On Route 4 Deemed 'Mass Casualty' Incident

EPSOM, NH — At least four people were injured and possibly one death was reported after a multi-vehicle crash in Epsom Wednesday.

At just after 8:30 p.m., Epsom fire and rescue teams were sent to a motor vehicle crash on Route 4 between Brimstone Hill Road and the Chichester town line. The first arriving firefighters reported three vehicles involved with the crash and requested more firefighters since there was entrapment in at least one of the vehicles. A few minutes later, they requested more ambulances, too.

The Capital Area Mutual Aid Fire Compact requested firefighters and EMTs from Chichester, Concord, and Pittsfield to assist and labeled the incident a "mass casualty" event — meaning there were many injuries during the crash.

While details of the accident are limited at post time, the three vehicles involved appear to be an SUV, a Dodge Ram pickup truck, and a Hyundai Veloster. WMUR-TV reported on Twitter that at least one person had died during the crash.

New Hampshire State Police reported on Twitter that their investigators are at the accident and the road is closed.

At around 9 p.m., dispatch reported four patients being taken to Concord Hospital.
