ASHLAND, NH — One person is deceased following a crash on Interstate 93 in Ashland.
Just after 7 a.m. Monday, May 25, State Troopers assigned to the Troop F barracks responded to a crash on I-93 North in the area of mile marker 77.2.
When Troopers arrived, they found an SUV in the median and a box truck in the breakdown lane.
The investigation determined that the driver of a black 2011 Chevrolet Traverse was traveling north in the left lane when the vehicle drove to the rumble strips before the driver overcorrected to the right and struck a box truck in the right lane.
The driver of the Chevrolet then lost control and went off the road into the median before the vehicle struck a rock.
Other drivers stopped to render aid, including an off-duty Concord firefighter who began CPR.
The driver and lone occupant of the Chevrolet, identified as Terrence McSally, 64, of Ashland, was transported to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth, where he was pronounced deceased.
The driver of the box truck, identified as Matthew Petz, 35, of Plymouth, was not injured.
Members of Troop F were assisted by additional Troopers assigned to Troop G, Headquarters, and the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit, as well as by members of the Ashland Fire Department and Plymouth Fire Department.
The left lane was closed for approximately two hours while the scene was cleared by emergency personnel.
The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Trooper John Collishaw at (603) 846-3333 or [email protected].
