Woman Taken To Concord Hospital On Trauma Alert After A Crash On Loudon Road: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord police fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Loudon Road early Sunday morning, which led to one person being taken to the hospital and another arrested.

Just after 1:15 a.m., fire and police dispatch began receiving reports of a crash, possibly involving two vehicles, near the onramp to Interstate 93 at Exit 14. One caller told a police dispatcher a woman was unconscious but breathing after the crash. Capital Region Fire Dispatch told EMTs heading to the area the woman was outside the vehicle and on the ground. She had a pulse and was breathing but was not responsive to police, according to scanner chatter. Other officers also arrived to assist, and the eastbound side of Loudon Road was closed.

The first responding officer confirmed a crash between a white Honda and a gray Honda Pilot SUV. The driver of the Pilot struck a utility pole.

A trauma alert was requested at Concord Hospital for the woman, who was in her early 30s and was a passenger in one of the vehicles.

Around 1:45 a.m., an officer at the scene confirmed one driver was intoxicated.

Firefighters also let dispatch know while the utility pole was still standing and the lights were working, its cement-based foundation had been pushed about four inches into the dirt.

“It took quite a whack,” the fire commander said.
