Elderly Man Loses His Life in I-93 Crash

MANCHESTER, NH — An elderly man lost his life this afternoon after a single vehicle accident just south of the Exit 6 on-ramp on I-93 South in Manchester, according to New Hampshire State Police.

The identity of the man, 79, is not being released at post time due to family notification.

According to state police, troopers were sent to the area for a crash report at around 2 p.m. on July 20, 2016. When they arrived, first responders found that the man had passed away at the scene.

“The preliminary investigation indicates that the vehicle left the roadway for an unknown reason and subsequently rolled over multiple times before coming to rest on the vehicle’s roof,” according to Staff Sgt. Bryan Trask of the NHSP. “The operator of the vehicle was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the collision and was partially ejected during the crash. Neither alcohol nor drugs appear to have played a role in this collision.”

State Police were assisted at the scene by members of the State Police Collision Analysis Unit, the Manchester Fire Department and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.

The collision remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call Trooper Nicholas Quintiliani at 603-271-3636.
