Massachusetts Man Killed In Fiery Rollover Crash At Hampton Toll Plaza
HAMPTON, NH – One person died in a fiery single-vehicle crash at the Hampton Toll Plaza Saturday.
State police, Hampton Fire Rescue, and police responded to the report of a rollover crash in the area of Interstate 95 South in the toll plaza at 5:41 p.m.
Upon arrival, Troopers found the involved vehicle on fire, and the sole occupant was unconscious and trapped within the vehicle. With the help of multiple good Samaritans, Troopers used several fire extinguishers in an effort to quell the fire, according to state police.
Firefighters from Hampton Fire and North Hampton Fire arrived and quickly extinguished the fire.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2013 Ford F-250 pickup truck driven by Nicholas D. Killinger, 44, of Wilbraham, MA, had been traveling along I-95 southbound within the cash toll collection area. State police say for reasons that remain under investigation, Killinger lost control of the pickup truck, resulting in the pickup striking a concrete traffic barrier in front of the toll booth located in the fifth lane of the toll plaza.
After the initial impact, the pickup truck rotated before overturning and coming to rest on the driver’s side a short distance south of the toll booth. Killinger, the sole occupant of the pickup truck, ultimately succumbed to injuries at the scene of the crash.
While Troopers investigated at the scene and emergency personnel worked to facilitate the removal of the involved pickup truck and associated debris, all southbound lanes of the cash area were closed for approximately two hours; however, the open road toll lanes remained operational. State police were assisted at the scene by the NH Department of Transportation.
All travel lanes were reopened at 7:55 p.m. after Dana’s Towing & Repair removed the vehicle.
All aspects of the crash remain under investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper John Harris atJohn.M.Harris@DOS.NH.GOV.
