Maine Trucker Crashes On I-95

NORTH HAMPTON, NH — A Maine trucker was not injured after jackknifing a tractor-trailer on I-95 in North Hampton yesterday morning. New Hampshire State Police troopers from Troop A were called to the crash at just before 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 24, 2018, and found the truck jackknifed in the northbound lane. The trucker – a 34-year-old man from Maine – reportedly lost control of the vehicle as it rotated about 180 degrees and traveled into the center median.

When the truck stopped, it was facing south and had overturned its rear trailer and was now partially in the southbound lane, Lt. John Hennessey noted in a press statement.

“No injuries were reported as a result of this collision,” Hennessey said. “The causation of the crash is still under investigation; however speed for the existing road condition appears to be a contributing factor.”

A portion of Interstate 95 southbound was closed for approximately five hours while the vehicle and trailers were recovered.

NHSP were assisted by the NH DOT and North Hampton Fire and Rescue teams.

Anyone with information pertaining to this crash is asked to contact Trooper John Forbes New Hampshire State Police, Troop-A Barracks at 603-679-3333.
