South End Crash Sends A Driver To Concord Hospital: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating a possibly intoxicated driver being involved in a two-vehicle crash on South State Street near Concord Street on Thursday night.

At a little past 10 p.m., police began receiving reports about the crash as well as another vehicle possibly leaving the scene. When police arrived, they found a Chrysler minivan on the sidewalk and a Hyundai Elantra in the middle of the street.

Officers immediately shut down the street.

The second caller, who said someone may have left the scene, said it appeared the person had come back, according to scanner chatter.

One driver, a man in his early 60s, was unconscious and unresponsive, an officer stated. More officers arrived to assist, while fire and rescue teams were also requested. A couple of minutes later, an officer reported the driver was “moving,” and they were trying to speak with him.

The other driver was a woman in her late 50s.

The man was taken to Concord Hospital around 10:15 p.m., and later, an officer accused him of being intoxicated.

“I’m just figure out alcohol, drugs, etc.,” they said. “Just as an FYI, he’s going to be here for a while.”

The driver was taken into custody later. According to the officer, the driver refused an administrative license suspension form.

One officer attempted to find out if anyone had left the scene, and a dispatcher said that was an unknown since many people were around.

Around 11:30 p.m., tow trucks arrived to remove the vehicles.
