LITTLETON, N.H. — Three officers suffered minor injuries Friday afternoon when police cruisers collided during the pursuit of a stolen pickup truck on Interstate 93 in Littleton.
According to New Hampshire State Police, troopers from Troop F were called just after noon to assist Gorham police in pursuing a gray 2026 GMC Sierra reported stolen.
The pursuit began on Route 115 in Jefferson and continued along Route 3, Route 302, and onto Interstate 93 northbound.
At 12:40 p.m., the suspect driving the stolen truck intentionally struck police vehicles on I-93 in Littleton, causing a collision that disabled two New Hampshire State Police cruisers and a Littleton police cruiser.
A second Littleton police officer continued to pursue the vehicle into Vermont, while the injured officers were evaluated and treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
The pursuit continued northbound on I-93 before crossing into Waterford, where the truck entered Interstate 91 southbound.
Vermont State Police deployed spike strips near Exit 18 in Barnet.
The stolen pickup ran over the strips and crashed while attempting to exit the interstate.
The driver, identified as Marisa Levesque, 42, of Groton, was taken into custody by officers from Littleton and Vermont State Police.
The Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit responded to investigate the police-involved crash in Littleton.
As a result, I-93 was closed in the area of Exit 43 on Friday afternoon, and northbound drivers were directed to follow alternate local routes before re-entering the highway at Exit 44.
Criminal charges against Levesque in New Hampshire are pending.
