NH Troopers: Man Driving At 100 MPH Hits Vehicle, Flees Scene

MANCHESTER, NH — New Hampshire State Police were sent to Interstate 93 for a serious crash Monday just north of the town line with Londonderry.

At around 7:10 p.m., responders, including troopers Manchester firefighters, and AMR, found multiple people injured at Mile Marker 17.4 and requested additional ambulances.

Troopers determined that a 2020 BMW X3 had collided with a 2017 Subaru Outback causing the Subaru to exit the roadway and rollover multiple times.

Several witnesses reported that the driver of the BMW had been traveling in excess of 100 mph at the time of the crash and fled from the scene on foot into the woods along the west side of the highway.

The Subaru was operated by Jonathan Quinn, 41 of Brookline, Massachusetts, and a front seat passenger identified as Stephanie Schneider, 39 ofBrookline, MA. Quinn and Schneider were traveling with their infant daughter. All three were transported to the Elliot Hospital in Manchester. Schneider sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries and Quinn and their infant daughter sustained minor injuries. A pet dog was also traveling in this vehicle and was transported to a local veterinary hospital with life threatening injuries.

After witnesses provided a description of the driver who fled from the BMW, state troopers and officers from both the Londonderry and Manchester police departments canvassed the area with the assistance of a state police K-9. A short time later a subject matching the description was located by a perimeter unit in the surrounding area. This subject was confirmed to be the driver of the BMW and was uninjured. He was identified as Patrick Giberson, 36, of Manchester.

Through the course of this investigation it was also learned that prior to crashing, Giberson had been involved in a domestic disturbance in Manchester and had stolen the 2020 BMW X3 from his parents, state police said.

Giberson was taken into custody on multiple State Police and Manchester Police charges. The State Police arrested Giberson on reckless conduct and conduct after an accident, both felonies, as well as vehicle assault and reckless operation. He was also charged by Manchester police where he faces charges of two counts of criminal threatening, two counts of domestic violence, simple assault, theft by unauthorized taking, and robbery. Giberson was held on preventative detention and will be arraigned in Hillsborough County Superior Court North Tuesday.
