Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. If you were heading to Merrimack early Tuesday morning on Route 3, you may have been tied up in traffic. Just before 6 a.m., a car heading south on Daniel Webster Highway crashed into a utility pole in front of the Merrimack Fire Department, knowing it down, then crashed through a guardrail landing at the bottom of an embankment near the Souhegan River. The road was closed for several hours until the accident was cleared. The driver, a 32-year-old Massachusetts woman, was taken to the Elliott Hospital with serious injuries. If you have any information about the accident, call Officer Kevin Manuele or Officer Tyler Colcord at 603-424-3774. (WMUR Manchester)
2. After two years of isolation, Palm Beachers' have been celebrating in-person weddings. One couple had their wedding and reception at our very own Bedford Village Inn!

The announcement appeared May 3 in The Palm Beach Daily news, with fun details of the wedding.
