Pickup Truck Flips, Crashes Into Swamp In East Concord

CONCORD, NH — Concord police and fire and rescue teams as well as Salisbury EMTs assisted a driver after he crashed his pickup truck into a swamp in East Concord on Friday.

Just before 6 p.m., Salisbury rescue notified capital region dispatch that there was a vehicle on Old Shaker Road near Hoit Road that flipped off the road into some marsh. The driver, a man from Loudon, was communicating with the rescue team.

“He says he is OK, but he is still in the vehicle,” the EMT said.

A few minutes later, dispatch sent Concord firefighters and EMTs, and police dispatch sent officers, to the scene. The Salisbury commander said the driver was not injured, but they were trying to get him out. They also reported a small fuel leak in the water.

When Concord responders arrived, the driver was out of the vehicle and confirmed to be OK. The vehicle, a Toyota pickup truck, was partially submerged in the water. One fire engine stayed with police while other firefighters were cleared.
