Massachusetts Trucker’s Wrong Way Driving Caught On Camera In NH: State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A commercial truck driver from the Bay State faces several charges after being accused of wrong-way driving on Route 16 in Wakefield.

According to Tyler Dumont, the public information officer for state police, on Dec. 3, state police received a report of a trucker who was accused of recklessly driving on the highway. Another truck’s in-vehicle digital camera recorded the incident.

The make of the truck was a 2014 Freightliner hauling a dumpster. And the video showed the driver crossing the double solid yellow line into oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle, he said.
