Antrim, Bennington Teens Killed During Rollover Crash In Francestown, New Hampshire State Police Say

FRANCESTOWN, NH — A state roadway in Francestown was closed for around six hours after a rollover crash that took the lives of three teenagers Tuesday night.

Just after 11 p.m., New Hampshire State Police were sent to a report of a crash on Route 47, Bennington Road. Francestown and Peterborough fire and rescue teams were also sent to the crash. When they arrived, they found a car had crashed into a utility pole and rolled over. Three teenagers — Aiden Brissette, 19, of Bennington, and Seth Fowler, 19, and Luis Torres, 18, both of Antrim, were thrown from the car and declared dead at the scene.

“The preliminary investigation at the scene determined that a 2013 Ford Focus had been traveling southbound on Route 47 when, for reasons which remain under investigation, it went off the right side of the road and crashed into a telephone pole,” state police said. “The Ford then continued along the shoulder before ultimately rolling onto its roof.”
