Motorcyclist Killed in Route 130 Crash

BROOKLINE, NH - New Hampshire State Police have released the name of a local man who was killed in a motorcycle in Brookline on April 17, 2016.

Glenn Annis, 65, of Hudson, was killed at just before 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon after a four-vehicle accident at the intersection of Route 130/Pepperell Road and Cross Road.

According to the initial investigation, a teen from Leominster, MA, was driving a pickup truck westbound on Route 130 as he approached the intersection with Cross Road. For unknown reasons, according to the NHSP, the teen “failed to yield the right-of-way while attempting to make a left hand turn onto Cross Road.” In doing so, according to the report, his pickup truck struck Annis’ 1995 Harley-Davidson and then side-swiped a 2008 Toyota Yaris being driven by a woman from Ashburnham, MA. The Yaris was stopped at the intersection, according to state police.

A Merrimack man driving a 2010 Harley-Davidson right behind Annis “made an aggressive maneuver” and dumped his bike avoiding the collision, according to state police. He was treated and released at the scene.

Annis, however, “suffered massive trauma” and was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Both the driver of the pickup and the Yaris were not injured.

Assisting on scene were members of the Brookline Police Department, NH State Police Troop B Barracks, Brookline Fire and Rescue, and EMS Crews.

At this time, the crash investigation is being handled by the State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Unit (C.A.R. Unit) with assistance from the Brookline Police Department.
