Elderly Driver, Passenger Injured During Rollover Crash On Whitehall Road in Hooksett

HOOKSETT, NH — The Hooksett Police Department’s crash reconstruction unit is investigating a single-vehicle rollover crash that sent two people, including an elderly driver, on Sunday.

Around 1:15 p.m., police and fire and rescue teams were called to Whitehall Road between Whitehall Terrace and the Cawley Middle School for a report of a crash. When they arrived, they found a BMW 8 Series convertible upside down in the road. A driver, a man, 68, and a passenger, a woman, who is 64, were sent to the hospital with serious injuries.

Lt. Valerie Lamy said the department’s crash unit was requested and the road was closed for several hours. The car, she said, was traveling east when “it left the road, struck a tree, and flipped, landing upside down in the roadway.” No other vehicles were involved, Lamy said.

“At this time,” she said, “it is believed the crash was the result of a medical issue with the operator.”

If anyone was a witness or has information that will assist in the crash investigation, they were asked to contact Sgt. Mannon at 603-624-1560 ext. 415 or e-mail tmannon@hooksettpolice.org.
