BOW, NH — A Seacoast man is lucky to be alive after allegedly crashing into a tree on Bow Center Road during the weekend after an alleged drunk driving incident in Bow, according to police. Kevin Corbin Jr., 32, of Virginia Lane in Seabrook, was arrested on Jan. 21, 2017, and charged with driving while intoxicated-subsequent, conduct after an accident, and reckless operation.

According to police, at around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, officers were sent to Bow Center Road for a report of an accident. When they arrived, they found a single vehicle accident with no driver. An on-scene investigation, according to Sgt. Arthur Merrigan of the Bow Police Department, found that the vehicle was “driving at a high rate of speed before veering off the road and striking a tree.” The operator allegedly fled into the woods after the crash.

“The Bow Police K9, Roxy, was called to the scene and tracked the driver to the area of Brown Hill Road where the driver was taken into custody by an officer on perimeter,” Merrigan stated.

Corbin was held on a 72-hour detainer from New Hampshire Probation and Parole and is scheduled to be arraigned today in Concord District Court.

Officers were assisted at the scene by Dunbarton Police and New Hampshire State Police.

Police are asking anyone who is familiar with Corbin or his driving prior to the crash to call police at 603-228-1240 or email Merrigan at amerrigan@bownh.gov.

According to a post on Portsmouth NH Patch in 2012, Corbin, who was living in Greenland at the time, was arrested in that city for burglary, stalking, assault, obstruction, and false imprisonment, against a local woman. Later that year, while living in Stratham, he lost his license due to a drunk driving conviction, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
