Nashua Man, Manchester Woman Taken To The Hospital After 3-Vehicle Crash In Merrimack

MERRIMACK, NH — Two people were sent to the hospital on Wednesday after a three-vehicle crash on the Everett Turnpike.

New Hampshire State Police were sent to the area of Exit 10 on the northbound side of the highway around 5:45 p.m. after receiving calls about the crash, which was blocking two lanes. According to investigators, light rain and a heavy evening commute caused traffic to slow down.

One driver, Anil Patel, 50, of Nashua, was driving a 2020 Range Rover and was accused by troopers of traveling “at an unsafe speed upon approach of the slowdown.” He then was accused of rear-ending a Toyota Tundra, being driven by Ashlee Fosher, 32, of Manchester, which caused the pickup to collide with a Nissan Rogue. The Rogue was being driven by Jennifer Farmer, 50, of Manchester, who was not injured, according to state police.

Patel and Fosher were taken to area hospitals for minor injuries, a report said.

The left lane of the turnpike was closed for about an hour while crews removed the vehicles.

Anyone with information regarding the crash was asked to contact Trooper Luan Sanches at 603-223-8492 or by email at Luan.G.Sanches@dos.nh.gov.
