Head-On Crash Closes Interstate 95: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — Two people were sent to Portsmouth Regional Hospital on Wednesday night after a crash on Interstate 95 in Greenland, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Troopers were sent to a report of a rollover crash around 6 p.m. on the southbound side of the highway. At the time of the crash, investigators believed one vehicle crossed over the median and crashed into another, traveling the opposite way on the opposite side of the highway.

Tyler Dumont, the public information officer for state police, said the southbound side of the highway was closed for about 90 minutes to clear debris and investigate the crash.

No charges were filed against the drivers last week, although the crash remains under investigation. State police withheld the names and the make and model of the vehicles they were driving, Dumont said.

Greenland police, Greenland and North Hampton fire and rescue teams, and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation assisted state police at the scene.

Anyone with information to assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Patrick Vetter at 603-271-3636.

Witnesses Sought In I-89 Road Rage Case

New Hampshire State Police are investigating a road rage incident reportedly involving a man from New York.

Around 6 p.m. on Oct. 21, state police began receiving reports about the driver of a black Honda sedan with a New York registration flashing a firearm at another driver on the northbound side of Interstate 89, according to Dumont. The driver, Tyler Hance, 31, of Moira, NY, was stopped in Lebanon and a preliminary investigation accused him of being involved in a road rage incident in Concord earlier.

“Hance was also reported to have been operating erratically, including driving at high speeds and passing other vehicles in the breakdown lane,” Dumont said. Hance was arrested on a felony charge of criminal threatening and was later released on personal recognizance pending an appearance scheduled in Concord District Court.”

Troopers are asking anyone with dashcam footage of the incident or any other information about the incident to contact Trooper Noah Gooch at 603-451-9312 or Noah.D.Gooch@dos.nh.gov.
