Juvenile speeding, driving erratically on I-293 crashes, rolls over; no arrests made

MANCHESTER - A juvenile operating a 2011 Audi at a high rate of speed crashed and rolled over multiple times in the area of the Interstate 293 split on Saturday.

Troopers responded to Interstate 93 North in the area of mile 17.4 around 12:40 p.m. to find that a vehicle had rolled over multiple times and come to rest on its roof on the right shoulder.

According to witness statements and roadway evidence, the operator of the Audi was driving at a high rate of speed and changing lanes while passing vehicles in heavy traffic, according to a Dept. of Safety press release sent out on Saturday.

In the area of the I-293 split, traffic slowed, and the operator was unable to slow in time to avoid a crash due to traveling at a high rate of speed, according to police. The operator braked and swerved and was unable to remain in control of the vehicle, possibly striking at least one other vehicle before leaving the roadway and rolling multiple times. The vehicle was occupied by the juvenile operator and three passengers.

There were no reported injuries in this crash. There were several other crashes in the area due to the heavy backup that was caused by this rollover.

None of the individuals involved in the crash were identified. Safety officials revealed no arrests.

The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Trooper Skafidas at NH State Police Headquarters at (603) 223-4381.
