Malden Man Arrested On Drunken Driving Charge After New Hampshire Crash
LONDONDERRY, NH — A Massachusetts man is due in court next week to face a drunken driving charge after a crash on early Tuesday morning.
Just before 1 a.m., several officers were sent to Route 28-Rockingham Road near Smith Lane for a crash report. When they arrived, they found a single vehicle had crashed into trees on the south shoulder of the road. A utility pole had also been severed.
During an on-scene investigation, police accused the driver, James Shea, 31, of Malden, Massachusetts, of being impaired, “attributing his condition as the sole cause of the accident,” police said on Facebook. He was arrested on driving while intoxicated and false report to law enforcement charges.
Police said Route 28 was closed for several hours during the cleanup and pole repair work.
Shea was released on personal recognizance and is due in Derry District Court on May 7.
