Exeter Police Investigating Fatal Motorcycle Crash On Epping Road

EXETER, NH — Exeter police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash on Epping Road Friday.

Around 4 p.m., police and fire and rescue teams were sent to the area of the intersection of Route 27 and Watson Road for a report of a crash between a motorcycle and a car. According to a police investigation, Exeter Police Chief Stephan Poulin said a girl who was driving a 2017 Ford Fusion stopped on Watson Road before taking a left-hand turn onto Epping Road. While doing so, “It appears that the driver did not notice the 2022 Harley Davidson motorcycle traveling westbound on Epping Road,” he said.

The motorcycle struck the driver’s side door, Poulin said, and suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash.

Good Samaritans performed life-saving measures before first responders arrived. The rider was taken to Exeter Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The driver was not injured. She was cited for failing to yield.

Poulin said the exact circumstances of the crash remain under investigation.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Exeter Police Department at 603-772-1212.
