MERRIMACK, NH — At around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 19, 2016, a vehicle took out a utility pole on the Daniel Webster Highway near the south entrance of BAE Systems. The pole had transformers and multiple utilities, according to Jeffrey Hastings of Frame of Mind Photography, who took these photos this morning.

Merrimack Police also reported at 7:30 a.m. this morning that Wilson Hill Road was closed at the Amherst town line and Spring Pond Road for utility workers that were replacing a pole and wires. It should be open later this morning.
