NHSP Urging Anyone With Info On Fatal I-93 Crash To Come Forward

HOOKSETT, NH — The New Hampshire State Police are asking for the public’s help as they investigate the cause of a fatal motor vehicle crash on I-93 in Hooksett yesterday afternoon. At around 3 p.m. on April 6, 2018, state police, Hooksett Fire and Rescue teams, and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation were called to the southbound lane just after the open tolling for a crash. When they arrived, according to Staff Sgt. William Graham of Troop B, troopers found a white Chevrolet Tahoe, with no license plates, had crashed into a 2003 Peterbilt tractor-trailer truck with a Missouri registration.

The tractor-trailer was in the breakdown lane, Graham noted.

“The driver of the Tahoe was declared dead at the scene,” Graham stated. “The operator of the tractor-trailer was not injured.”

Two lanes of the highway were closed for about three and a half hours while crews attempted to separate the vehicles, remove the driver from the SUV, and cleanup the scene. NH DOT assisted with traffic control, Graham said.

Anyone that may have further information related to this crash is urged to contact Trooper Travis Merritt at 603-666-3333 or via email at travis.merritt@dos.nh.gov.
