Local News
The SUV’s driver and two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene of the single-car crash, police said.
Three people were killed Sunday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash on an Interstate 93 off-ramp in Salem, New Hampshire, officials said.
Troopers responded to a reported crash on the Exit 2 off-ramp just after 2 p.m., New Hampshire State Police said in a news release. A preliminary investigation determined a 2012 white Kia Sportage was traveling south on the off-ramp when it veered off the road, traveled through a grassy area, and struck a culvert, according to police.
The SUV’s driver, 71-year-old Rodney J. Dore, of Pelham, and two passengers — Anne J. Dore, 70, of Pelham, and Lisana M. Alexander, 45, of Salem — were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Part of the off-ramp was temporarily shut down while troopers investigated, according to the release. Officials did not share any details on what might have caused the fatal crash.
New Hampshire State Police encouraged anyone with information that could help the investigation to contact Trooper Mark Lingerman at 603-223-4381 or [email protected].
