Snow Flurries Cause Crashes In Concord, Capital Region: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Snow flurries that made some Concord area streets, roads, and highways a bit slick caused accidents on Wednesday.

Around 5:15 p.m., Loudon fire and rescue teams were sent to the area of the New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a head-on crash. Dispatch told EMTs heading to the crash that there were injuries due to airbag deployments in the cars.

Around 5:30 p.m., two patients were taken to Concord Hospital. Another 15 minutes later, another patient was transported to the hospital.
