E-ZPass Lane Closed After Truck Hits Toll Booth

One of the dedicated E-ZPass lanes at a Hampton toll plaza is closed for at least two or three days after a truck struck and heavily damaged a toll booth Monday night.

WMUR has reported that a hydraulic lift stabilizer on the back of the driver's side of the truck hit the South 2 booth on the ramp plaza located between Interstate 95 and Route 101 around 10 p.m. Monday. No one was injured during the incident, and WMUR reported there was no one in the booth because it was an E-ZPass lane.

UPDATE, per New Hampshire Department of Transportation Spokesman Bill Boynton:

At about 10 pm Monday night, the South 2 booth at the Hampton side ramp plaza (to I-95 from NH 101) was hit by a truck that had a hydraulic lift stabilizer sticking out from the back of the driver’s side.  It caused heavy damage to the booth.

No attendant was in the booth and there were no injuries. This was a dedicated E-ZPass lane. We are on the scene this morning to assess damage and begin repairs We have spare equipment on hand to quickly address these types of incidents. The toll booth repairs are expected to be completed, and the toll lane reopened by Monday night.
