Florida Man Dies After Crash In The North Country: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire State Police are investigating a fatal crash in Jefferson on Sunday morning.

Around 11:45 a.m., troopers were sent to a single-vehicle crash on Route 115. When first responders arrived, they saw a 2016 Honda CR-V in a field off the west side of the highway, near Stag Hollow Road. The driver, Stephen J. Gooden, 68, of Wentworth, was traveling south when, “for reasons that remain under investigation,” misnegotiated a curve and drove down an embankment, Michal Sventek, a public information officer for state police, said. In the process, Gooden struck a utility pole and a tree. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, Sventek said.

A passenger, Maurice C. Sasse Jr., 70, of Silver Springs, Florida, was killed during the crash.

Jefferson firefighters and Lancaster EMS assisted troopers.

While the preliminary investigation indicated a medical episode may have contributed to the collision, all aspects of the crash remain under investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash or who has information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Conor Doyle at 603-715-7459 or conor.f.doyle@dos.nh.gov.

Teen Dies Trying To Find Bag That Fell In Lake

A teenager drowned on Friday afternoon after jumping in the water to recover a bag that fell off a boat in Gilford.

Around 12:45 p.m. on Friday, Marine Patrol was requested to Gilford for a downing on Lake Winnipesaukee. Marine Patrol arrived and spoke to three women on a boat in the area known as the Broads, near Diamond and Rattlesnake islands. They told officers a teenager, whose identity is not being released, jumped into the water to retrieve a bag that fell overboard.

“Due to rough water conditions caused by strong winds,” Sventek said, “the teen appeared to struggle to swim, eventually submerged, and did not resurface.”

Marine Patrol, and Alton and Gilford firefighters searched the area but could not find the teenager. Around 7 p.m., the teen’s body was recovered by a New Hampshire Fish & Game Department dive team. The team was assisted by police in Gilford.

The initial investigation indicated the death was a drowning.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Sgt. Seth Alie of Marine Patrol at seth.p.alie@dos.nh.gov or 603-227-2117.

Motorcyclist Died After Crash In Barnstead

A motorcyclist was killed in a crash on Thursday night on Route 28 in Barnstead

Around 9 p.m., state police were requested to the town to assist with the investigation near Kent Lane. Troopers determined the driver of a 2022 Kawasaki Z900RS, who was riding south, collided with a 2023 Tesla Model Y, which was traveling in the opposite direction, Sventek said. The rider died at the scene.

Their name was withheld pending the investigation and next of kin notification.

Members of the Alton and Barnstead police departments, Barnstead Fire Rescue, and the Belknap County Sheriff’s Office assisted troopers at the scene.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Thomas Seager at thomas.m.seager@dos.nh.gov.
