Windham Man Rescued From Burning Vehicle In Londonderry After Crash: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — A man from Windham suffered burn injuries Thursday after a fiery crash on Interstate 93 in Londonderry.

Around 11:15 p.m., troopers were sent to the area of Mile Marker 16.8 for a report of a Mazda 3 crashing into a tree on the southbound side of the highway. Witnesses reported the vehicle was on fire, according to state police.

Troopers arrived as Good Samaritans were attempting to rescue George Nicolopoulos, 27, of Windham, from the burning vehicle. Troopers, the drivers, and an off-duty Manchester police officer were able to move him to a safe location.

Londonderry fire and rescue teams arrived to extinguish the fire. Nicolopoulos was taken to a hospital and later, Boston, Massachusetts, via medflight.

All aspects of this crash remain under investigation. Anyone who witnessed the crash or who has information that may assist the investigation was asked to contact Trooper Shane Mason at shane.p.mason@dos.nh.gov.

July 4 Safety Encouraged; Enforcement Efforts Planned

State police are asking visitors and residents to play it safe and be aware during the July 4th weekend holiday.

“The State Police have zero tolerance for drivers and boaters who unlawfully endanger the safety of others,” Col. Mark B. Hall said. “This Fourth of July week, Troopers and Marine Patrol officers will be out in full force. We encourage everyone to plan ahead for safe celebrations.”

Troopers are set to be deployed in increased numbers across the state and will participate in various patrol efforts targeting impairment, speed, distraction and other dangerous driving behaviors. Expect to see them at popular tourist destinations, Hall said.
