Teen Killed In Interstate 93 Crash; Arrest Blotters: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A man from Maine is facing charges after being accused of driving under the influence after a crash in Portsmouth on Monday morning.

Around 2 a.m., state troopers were sent to the area of Exit 3 on Interstate 95 north for a report of a crash. The driver of a 2005 Honda Accord, Michael Tardiff, 40, of Holden, ME, reportedly took Exit 3 and, “for reasons that remain under investigation,” according to Trooper Nicole Stone of the state police, drove off the onramp and crashed into a tree after driving through thick brush.

Tardiff and two passengers were taken to the hospital by ambulance for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries, she said.
