SUV Clips Utility Pole During Route 106 Rollover In Canterbury: Watch

CANTERBURY, NH — Canterbury and Loudon fire and rescue teams, as well as police, were sent to Route 106 for a crash Wednesday.

Around 9:30 a.m., Capital Area Mutual Aid Fire Compact began receiving reports of a rollover crash involving an SUV on the northbound side of the highway, just north of the motor speedway, near Gil Rodgers Highway. Dispatchers said the SUV crashed into a utility pole that snapped. They said trees were catching fire due to the snapped pole and wires.

Eversource was requested to the scene while the driver, a woman, was evaluated. The fire commander said she and others were away from the burning trees and were safe. They requested all the other fire teams to assist with the fire.

The driver was taken to Concord Hospital later by Loudon EMTs.

All Loudon units cleared the scene and handed it off to Canterbury fire and rescue teams just before 10 a.m.
