Troopers along with Hampton Police were called to the accident between K Street and L Street at around 12:15 a.m. for a pedestrian struck by a Nissan Sentra.

The injuries to the pedestrian, a 28-year-old Hampton man, appeared to be life threatening, according to Sgt. Steven Wheeler of the NHSP, and he was later transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital and remains in life threatening condition.

Police requested the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Unit and they determined that the Nissan, driving south in the left hand lane, struck the pedestrian. State police later arrested Bailey and charged him with DUI although, Wheeler noted, “all aspects of the crash still remain under investigation. ”

Agencies assisting at the scene include NH State Police Troop A, Hampton Police, and Hampton Fire & Rescue Department.
