CONCORD, NH — Concord police and firefighters were sent to another accident in the area of the Exit 16 interchange with I-93 this morning for a single-vehicle accident.

The airbags were deployed on the Jeep, the first responding officer told dispatch, after he arrived. The officer also gave dispatch a vehicle registration and then stated, "And, I'm still trying to wake up the driver."

A few minutes later, an officer stated, "I can't get him to wake up but I do have a pulse though."
