Three Accidents Snarl Friday Afternoon Traffic in Bedford

Even before the Friday afternoon commute began, three accidents – all within a couple miles of one another – backed up traffic in Bedford.

Bedford Fire Deputy Chief Mark Klose confirmed to Bedford Patch that his department responded to "back-to-back-to-back" motor vehicle collisions Friday afternoon.

The most serious of which, he said, occurred at the intersection of Liberty Hill Road and County Road, near McKelvie Intermediate School. There, a two-car crash injured five people, sending three to the hospital. Bedford Police are investigating the incident, Klose noted.

In addition, a person was transported with injuries from an accident on South River Road, and third collision was reported at the intersection of Nashua Road and Route 101, though Klose said no one from the latter incident was sent to the hospital.

Bedford Patch will have more on the crash near McKelvie if and when additional details are released.
