Flatbed Truck Rolls Over After Being Struck By Car: NHSP

SALEM, NH - Two men are being treated for injuries at Lawrence General Hospital today after a car reportedly struck a flatbed truck, causing it to roll over on I-93 south this morning, according to New Hampshire State Police.

At just before 11 a.m. on March 7, 2016, a man from Derry, driving a 2002 Nissan Sentra, reportedly entered I-93 at Exit 2 in Salem and struck the passenger side of a 2012 Freightliner flatbed truck operated by a North Billerica, MA, man, according to Sgt. Steve Callinan of the NHSP.

The truck driver lost control of the vehicle due to the impact and rolled over across four lanes of highway, he noted. 

Salem Fire and Rescue teams arrived at the scene and used the Jaws of Life to get the Derry man out of his vehicle. Both drivers were taken to the hospital with injuries. The truck driver had a minor head injury while the Derry man sustained serious by non-life threatening injuries, according to state police.

I-93 south was shut down for about two hours. Assisting at the scene were troopers from Troop B, Salem Fire, Salem Police, and NH DOT.
