Vehicle Crashes Into Concord Heights Dollar Tree Store … Again: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord fire and rescue teams and police were sent to a store on Loudon Road for a report of damage to a building after a crash on Monday.

Around 10:45 a.m., capital region fire dispatch began receiving calls about an SUV reportedly crashing into the side of the Dollar Tree store on Loudon Road. Dispatch told arriving firefighters there appeared to be no injury, but there was structural damage to the building.

The fire commander reported the driver drove the SUV out of the building before they arrived and there was “significant damage to the block.” Both police and firefighters confirmed there were no injuries.

The damage included blocks, wood, the side of the wall near a window, and insulation. The SUV, a Hyundai Santa Fe, appeared to have limited damage. The driver was an elderly woman in her late 70s.

The crash was about two dozen feet from a crash nine months ago at the same store. According to pictures taken by News 603, the previous damage, from March 2022, was never fixed.

The commander requested fire prevention at the scene to evaluate the building’s roof. They suggested possibly installing shores to ensure the wall and roof remained stable.

Around 11:15 a.m., the building inspector was sent to the store.

News 603 posted a video of the damage on Facebook.
