CONCORD, NH — A man from Rochester faces several felony charges after being accused of driving 100 mph on Interstate 95 on Sunday and fleeing from cops.

Around 10:30 p.m., state police observed a driver of a 2020 Hyundai Accent speeding at more than 100 mph on the northbound side of the highway. The driver, Jordan Metherall, 31, was chased previously by Mass. State Police for the same offense, Tyler Dumont, a public information officer for state police, said.

Metherall took Exit 1 in Seabrook, drove along several secondary roads, and crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of Route 1 and Route 107, he said. The driver was accused of attempting to flee but was taken into custody by state troopers and Seabrook police.

“A female passenger in the Hyundai suffered serious injuries,” Dumont said. “The investigation remains ongoing.”

The driver of a 2012 Buick LaCrosse was uninjured during the crash.

Metherall was arrested for reckless conduct, disobeying an officer, and conduct after an accident. He was held in preventative detention and is scheduled to be arraigned in Hampton District Court on Monday.

During the investigation and cleanup, part of Route 107 was closed for around 90 minutes. Along with police, Seabrook firefighters, Pat’s Towing, and New England Truck Center assisted state police.

Anyone with information that may assist with the investigation was asked to contact Trooper Cameron Vetter at cameron.s.vetter@dos.nh.gov.
