NHSP Seek Info on Driver Who Fled Scene of Multi-Vehicle Accident

Investigators with the New Hampshire State Police are seeking information from the public about a man who was reportedly driving an SUV erratically before a three-vehicle collision on Spit Brook Road near Exit 1 of the Everett Turnpike in Nashua.

The man is described as white with a stocky build. At the time of the crash, he was wearing a blue jacket.

According to a report, at just before 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2015, troopers were monitoring southbound traffic on the turnpike near Exit 1 when one of them observed a black Mercury SUV driving erratically. The SUV, the trooper alleged, then took an unsafe turn onto Exit 1.

“The troopers pulled out of the median in an attempt to catch up and stop the vehicle,” according to Sgt. Thomas Lencki of the NHSP. “When the troopers arrived at the bottom of the ramp, they observed a motor vehicle collision. The collision involved three vehicles.”

Witnesses stated that the operator of the black SUV allegedly caused the collision and then fled.

Nashua Police and a state police K-9 unit responded to the scene and searched the area but were unable to pickup a scent or find the man.

A Ford Flex and Chrysler Town and Country minivan were also involved in the crash. All three vehicles were towed from the scene. Nashua Fire and Rescue teams assisted those who were injured, according to the report.

Anyone that may have seen this suspect or has information regarding this incident is asked to call Trooper Hickey at 603-223-4381.
