Head-On Crash At Bedford Toll Plaza Seriously Injures Two People

BEDFORD, NH — New Hampshire State Police and Bedford Fire responded to a report of a two-vehicle head-on crash at the Bedford Toll Plaza Tuesday.

Responders arrived at the scene at 10:15 a.m. and found a pick-up truck that crashed into the barrier of the toll plaza and then struck an SUV that was coming through the Northbound toll. Two people in the BMW SUV were heavily entrapped and Bedford firefighters immediately began extrication and called for an additional mutual aid ambulance from Merrimack Fire Rescue.

Firefighters extricated two people from the SUV who had severe injuries and transported them to the hospital; details on the injuries are not available at this time. The man driving the pick-up truck was medically evaluated at the scene and did not appear to have any severe injuries from the accident. He was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Initial information indicates the pick-up truck driver was traveling south and crashed into one of the northbound lanes. The truck first struck the concrete barrier and then hit the BMW SUV, causing significant damage to the SUV. The structure at the toll plaza had serious damage and is being inspected by NH DOT workers.

State police kept most of the lanes of the toll plaza open and closed two lanes in each direction, which caused minor traffic backups.

Massachusetts couple indicted for illegally voting in New Hampshire

A Massachusetts couple is facing charges after investigators say they illegally voted in a trio of elections in New Hampshire in recent years.

A Merrimack County grand jury returned six indictments this week charging both Joshua Urovitch, 56, and Lisa Urovitch, 54, with three felony counts of wrongful voting, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella.

Formella said the indictments allege that the Urovitches voted multiple times in Concord, New Hampshire, despite living in Ashland, Massachusetts.

The Urovitches are accused of illegally voting in general elections in November 2020 and November 2022, as well as a Concord School District Election in November 2022.

An arraignment date for the Urovitches is set for Oct. 7 in Merrimack County Superior Court.

There were no additional details available.

Campus police at the University of New Hampshire are investigating two recent sexual assault cases, the department said in a statement.

The first alleged incident, a sexual assault, happened between Sept. 20 at 10:30 p.m. and Sept. 21 at 3 a.m. in the suspect’s dorm building on campus, the statement said. Police said the victim believes the suspect may have drugged their drink. The victim and the suspect were known to each other, police said.

The second reported incident happened Sept. 19, police said. Another victim said the same suspect may have drugged them as well, the report said. Police did not say if the second victim was assaulted.

University Police said Wednesday that they had identified a person of interest in the case, but will not share any further information “to protect the integrity of the investigation” and protect those impacted by the incidents.

“Survivors are never responsible for the offenders’ behavior,” the statement said.

While the investigation is underway, UNH police reminded students to stay safe, trust their instincts, call a safety escort on campus, and utilize campus resources if necessary.
