Man Flees Crash, Found At North Main Street Cumbies, Police Say

CONCORD, NH — An officer on patrol in the North End came across a crash on North Main Street near Interstate 393 on Thursday night around 10:45 p.m.

The vehicle, a Scion coupe, was owned by a Center Barnstead man. The coupe had front-end damage after driving into the curb from I-393 and appearing to try and turn south onto North Main Street. The officer said parts of the car were strewn around the area, and no driver was in sight. The airbags were deployed, but it appeared there was not any blood in the vehicle, a second officer said.

Another officer, around the Concord Homeless Resource Center, saw a man walking in the area. Another officer arrived to assist and they attempted to find the man.

A third officer, who knew the driver, gave a description and a fourth officer reported finding someone on another section North Main Street. They also stated in a prior contact with the driver, he was with a woman.

The man near the resource was not involved in the incident, one officer said.

Dispatch began calling cab drivers to see if they had picked up anyone in the area, but they had not, according to scanner chatter.

At around 11:30 p.m., police ran into the woman from the previous incident. She claimed she was driving the coupe before it crashed. However, dispatch said a witness placed a man at the scene as the driver. The witness said there was no woman with him.

Police then went to Cumbies after a store employee called the police to report a man who walked into the store but, after seeing police outside, quickly fled the area. Police went to the store and found the owner of the coupe in the parking lot.

The child who was injured during a New Year’s Day apartment building fire in Manchester, New Hampshire has died, the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal announced on Saturday.

The 5-year-old girl had been found unresponsive in a fourth-floor bedroom by firefighters. She was rushed to a Boston hospital in critical condition and passed on Wednesday. The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has performed an autopsy to determine her cause of death.

The fire began just 30 minutes after midnight on Union Street. The flames raged on the third and fourth floors before spreading to the roof. One man was killed in the fire. He was identified as 70-year-old Thomas J. Casey, and his cause of death was determined to be smoke inhalation, according to the medical examiner.

One woman was rushed to a Boston hospital in critical condition. Five other people received serious injuries and were hospitalized. All the victims have since been discharged, according to the fire marshal.

Residents could be seen waiting in windows and on balconies for firefighters to rescue them.

“I kicked into high gear. I got my family rallied up. My son, my daughter, my wife. And I tried to find a way to get down safely off of one of the railings by trying to slide down one of the poles. But that didn’t work out,” said resident Jonathan Barrett.

Fire investigators believe the fire is not suspicious and started in a third-floor bedroom. The building did not have a sprinkler system but did have an operational fire alarm, the fire marshal said.

Around 10 families were displaced by the fire and are receiving help from the Red Cross. Around 50 people lived in the building.

New Hampshire services respond to 7-car crash

SPRINGFIELD, N.H. (ABC22/FOX44) – After an icy morning on Interstate 89 that saw multiple cars in a crash in Springfield, New Hampshire, responders say that they are thankful that only one person sustained injuries.

According to Springfield Fire Rescue, they originally were called at 7:40 a.m. on Friday for a reported two-car crash between Exits 12A and 13 – but arrived to find 7 vehicles involved, including 6 off the road.

According to authorities, all of the occupants of the cars were able to get themselves out and only one needed to be taken to the hospital. Their injuries were reported to be non-life-threatening.

“Springfield Fire Rescue would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to slow down and move over when emergency vehicles are in the roadway. The area where this incident occurred was very icy and we witnessed several other vehicles almost lose control when they entered the scene at too great a speed.”

Responders from New London, Enfield, and Springfield, as well as NH State Police, helped respond to the incident and clear the vehicles from the road, as well as to treat the ice to make the road safe.

Man killed in NH snowmobile crash

An Alton man is dead after a snowmobile crash in New Hampshire’s North Country Thursday afternoon.

The New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game says 63-year-old Bradford Jones was attempting to negotiate a left hand turn on Corridor Trail 5 in Colebrook when he lost control of his snowmobile, struck multiple trees off the side of the trail and was thrown from the vehicle shortly before 3:30 p.m.

Jones was riding with another snowmobiler, who was in the lead at the time of the crash, according to the agency. Once the other man realized Jones was no longer behind him, he turned around and traveled back where he found Jones significantly injured, lying off the trail beside his damaged snowmobile.

The man immediately rendered aid to Jones and called 911 for assistance, NH Fish and Game said. The Colebrook Fire Department used their rescue tracked all terrain vehicle and a specialized off road machine to transport first responders across about a mile of trail to the crash scene.

Once there, a conservation officer and 45th Parallel EMS staff attempted lifesaving measures for approximately an hour, but Jones ultimately died from his injuries at the scene of the crash, officials said.

The crash remains under investigation, but conservation officers are considering speed for the existing trail conditions to have been a primary factor in this deadly incident.
