Motorcyclist Injured During Crash On South Main Street In Concord; 2nd Crash Reported On I-93

CONCORD, NH — A motorcyclist was injured during a crash with an SUV on South Main Street on Thursday afternoon.

Minutes later, a second crash was reported not far from the first.

Around 4:30 p.m., Concord police, fire and rescue teams, and New Hampshire State Police troopers all responded to the crash at the Exit 12 Interstate 93 interchange. The motorcyclist, a South End man in his 30s, was down on the ground but conscious and breathing, according to scanner chatter.

Originally, Capital Region Fire Dispatch sent Bow firefighters and EMTs, because the crash was believed to be at the town line. A minute later, a Concord battalion commander said they could handle the call, which they later learned was actually in Concord.

The other vehicle was a Chevrolet Bolt hatchback being driven by a woman. The northbound lane of the street was shut down while EMTs prepped the rider for transport. One of the officers said the motorcyclist had serious bodily injuries.

More officers were requested for traffic control.

While at the Exit 12 crash, another crash was reported on Interstate 93, just south of Exit 12S.

Capital Region Fire Dispatch said the crash involved a pickup truck and a motorcyclist in the high-speed lane of the northbound side of the highway.

“The rider was up,” a firefighter said. “We’ll be out checking.”
