3-Vehicle Rollover Closes Route 101 In Hampton

HAMPTON, NH — New Hampshire State Police are still investigating a three-vehicle rollover crash on Thursday that sent one person to the hospital.

Around 4:15 p.m., state police were sent to a report of a crash on the eastbound side of Route 101 in Hampton involving three vehicles. The crash closed both lanes of the highway. The roadway was closed, Amber Lagace, a public information officer for the department, said, for about 15 minutes. She said a breakdown lane was then cleared to allow traffic to pass.

“(The) preliminary investigation indicates that the first vehicle lost control and rolled over, striking a second vehicle that then had minor contact with a third vehicle,” Lagace said. “The operator of the vehicle that rolled over was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital for evaluation of minor injuries.”

She said no other injuries occurred due to the crash. While all aspects of the crash are still under investigation, alcohol and drugs do not appear to be contributing factors.

Troop A troopers were assisted by both the Hampton Police Department and Hampton Fire Department.

State police request anyone with further information or dashcam video of this incident contact the investigating trooper, Sgt. Christopher Cummings, at Christopher.J.Cummings@dos.nh.gov.
