CONCORD, NH — Concord police spent several hours investigating a crash reportedly involving a vehicle striking a pedestrian on Manchester Street Sunday night.
Just before 9:30 p.m., police, firefighters, and EMTs were sent to Manchester Street between Garvins Falls Road and Centerwood Drive for a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. A police dispatcher said the person was “conscious and breathing,” but it was unclear whether they were up and walking around. Capital Region Fire Dispatch informed firefighters en route that a Good Samaritan, a doctor, was rendering aid. A police dispatcher reported the driver of the vehicle was still at the scene.
After several officers arrived, the street was closed down. The vehicle was identified as a Toyota Highlander owned by a woman from Goffstown. The driver was a man in his early 50s. The victim was a woman in her early 40s. A man was also with the woman at the time of the crash.
