MERRIMACK, NEW
HAMPSHIRE
A Merrimack man was
uninjured after crash this morning just south of the Exit 11 Everett Turnpike
onramp in Merrimack, according to the New Hampshire State Police.
A state trooper was
sent to the turnpike for a report of a rollover at around 7:15 a.m. on Feb. 19,
2015. He spoke with the driver of the pickup, who is 20 and was uninjured after
the crash, according to the report.
“(The driver) stated
that he was looking to his left as he was attempting to merge onto the Everett
Turnpike by way of the Exit 11 on ramp when he drifted into the snow bank,”
according to Sgt. Bryan Trask. “Upon drifting into the snow bank, (the
driver’s) truck rolled over and came to rest upside down in the travel lane.”
The trooper
investigated the crash and “determined that the cause of this crash was due to
(the driver) failing to maintain his proper lane of travel and maintain control
of his vehicle.” The driver was not injured after the crash. The vehicle was
towed from the scene and the highway was restricted to a single lane for about
an hour.
Three hours before,
there was an accident involving a tractor-trailer truck on the turnpike, according
to state police.
