Dozens Of Crashes During Snowstorm

State police reported more than 200 weather-related calls in New Hampshire during the snowstorm last week.

The calls included 92 crashes. Eight of the crashes had injuries. State police said 152 vehicles went off the road and 50 drivers were assisted.

During the snow event, speeds were reduced on Interstates 93, 293, and 393, as well as Route 101 and the Everett Turnpike.

State police reminded residents snow needed to be cleared from vehicles, per Jessica’s Law, and move over, per Sherrill’s Law, to give plenty of space to vehicles displaying warning signals.
