A driver who reached triple digit speeds on I-95 was taken into custody Wednesday after the person fled from New Hampshire state police, crossed into Massachusetts, and crashed near exit 76B, law enforcement said in a statement.
New Hampshire State Police noticed the speeding driver around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday by a trooper in an airplane who was conducting a “traffic enforcement initiative” in Greenland after “recent hazardous driving behaviours and crashes in the areas.
The state trooper saw a dark-colored vehicle traveling at over 100 mph while passing other vehicles, New Hampshire State Police said in a statement.
“While personnel in the state police aircraft followed the vehicle, troopers noted the driver appeared to increase speed and used all lanes on the road, including the breakdown lane, to pass other vehicles,” police said.

New Hampshire State Police chased the car into Massachusetts, where Massachusetts State Police joined the pursuit. But minutes later, police backed off the car “due to public safety concerns,” New Hampshire authorities said.
“Minutes later, Troopers learned the vehicle went off the road and crashed after the driver failed to negotiate a curve near exit 76B. The driver of the vehicle involved in the pursuit, an adult male, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital for treatment,” New Hampshire State Police said.
The identity of the driver was not released but “criminal charges in both states are forthcoming,” New Hampshire State Police said.

A prelicensed therapist who had been practicing in Bow, N.H., was arrested Monday based on an allegation that he sexually assaulted a patient during an in-office visit, police said.
Daniel Thibeault, who faces two counts of felonious sexual assault and one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault, is being held at the Merrimack County jail pending his arraignment, according to a statement from the Bow Police Department.

Thibeault had been a candidate for licensure who was subject to a supervisory agreement since May 2024, according to state records. His arrest comes after the presiding officer of the New Hampshire Board of Mental Health Practice suspended his privileges to practice in the state in late December, citing the alleged assault.
Bow police had notified the state’s Office of Professional Licensure and Certification in early December that Thibeault was accused of sexually assaulting the patient despite her “audible demands to stop,” according to an order signed by an administrative law judge.

The incident was reported to Bow police in August, prompting an investigation by Detective Sergeant Tyler Coady that led to a warrant being issued for Thibeault‘s arrest, police said.
Efforts to reach Thibeault for comment were unsuccessful Monday. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
Police said the investigation is considered active and ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Coady at 603-223-3956 or tcoady@bownhpd.gov.
