Concord Police Seek Tips After Motorcyclist Crashes Into U.S. Postal Van In The South End

CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating a motorcycle crash in the South End on Wednesday afternoon and are asking witnesses to come forward.

Concord fire and rescue teams, as well as police, were sent to the intersection of South State and Concord streets for a report of an accident around 3:15 p.m. When EMTs arrived, they immediately requested a trauma alert at Concord Hospital due to the rider’s injuries. Police arrived and began closing off side streets in the area. Other officers also arrived to assist with traffic control.

The motorcyclist could be heard screaming while firefighters were tending to his injuries.

An officer reported the rider was conscious and alert at the hospital.

South State Street was closed for several hours during the investigation of the crash.
