Driver In a Porsche Crashes Into A Utility Pole In Penacook; Car Nearly Cut In Half
CONCORD, NH — Concord police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a single-vehicle crash in Penacook that knocked out power to more than 100 Unitil customers on Wednesday night.
Around 8:15 p.m., dispatchers began receiving reports about a crash on Borough Road just before Fowler Street with unknown injuries. Before police and firefighters arrived, another caller told police dispatch there were definitely injuries.
The first arriving officers confirmed an early 1980s Porsche had crashed into a pole and there were serious injuries. Traffic was closed at River Street while firefighters and EMTs arrived at the scene around 8:30 p.m. Both the driver and a passenger were injured in the crash, according to reports from the scene, and a second ambulance was requested. It arrived around 15 minutes later. One person was extricated from the vehicle by firefighters.
Other officers also arrived to assist at the scene, interview witnesses, and follow the victims to Concord Hospital to be interviewed.
A tow truck and Unitil were requested to the crash scene.
Unitil’s power outage map shows around 129 customers without power on Borough Road, Fowler Street, Primrose Lane, and Millennium Way. Restoration is expected between 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 12:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Concord City Manager Receives ‘Satisfactory’ Review, 2.5% Raise, But Sabbatical Request Gets Trimmed
Schultz said she “highly respects” Aspell, too, but there was a “dissonance between reality” when eyeing what the public and city employees were earning.
Ward 6 City Council Aislinn Kalob, too, would not be voting for the increase, saying it had been “heavily on my mind since we’ve had our nonpublic sessions,” which lasted about six hours of work. She appreciated Kretovic clearly outlining the job of city manager. But people were frustrated with the city manager, and she saw that in the comments in online forums.
“I do feel, after really digging into this, and learning about his job,” she said, “and thinking toward the future when, eventually, at some point, somebody new will be sitting in that seat, we are the ones who direct policy and he is the one that implements it… there is anger out there that should be directed more toward us.”
Kalob said, too, a room full of firefighters, upset about their contract, also made voting for the wage increase something she could not consider.
Michele Horne of Ward 2 echoed similar concerns to Schultz, saying there was significant “wage disparity” between the public and staff and the city manager. She also agreed with Kalob’s point that previous councils created this contract.
