'Driver Inattention' Cause of 3-Car Crash in Hudson

"Driver inattention" was cited as the cause of a three-vehicle crash in Hudson Jan. 8, as a crossing guard was assisting children on their way to school.

According to Hudson Police, at about 8:30 a.m. a 2006 Honda Pilot driven by Angelika Gursky, 46, of Hudson, struck two other vehicles stopped in the road for the crossing guard at the intersection of Derry Street and Evergreen Drive in Hudson.

Gursky's vehicle struck a 2010 Toyota Camry driven by  Jeannette Cunningham, 47, of Hudson and a 2009 Subaru Legacy driven by Elizabeth Sousa, 20, of Londonderry.

Cunningham was taken by the Hudson Fire Ambulance to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Gursky and Sousa were evaluated at the scene and refused transport.

The crash affected traffic for about two hours while tow trucks removed all three vehicles from the scene, police said. Driver inattention on the part of Gursky appeared to be the cause of the crash. Hudson Police would like to remind drivers to keep their attention focused on the road while they are operating a vehicle especially in heavy morning and afternoon commute traffic.
