Driver Escapes Injury in DW Highway Accident

UPDATED, 4:15 p.m. A driver escaped serious injury this afternoon after his car was struck from behind by a tractor-trailer on the Daniel Webster Highway.

Merrimack Fire Lt. Matt Duke said the incident appeared to be much worse at first because of the size of the tractor-trailer truck involved. But he said the driver of the vehicle was not injured and did not require medical transport.

He said the tractor-trailer truck actually pushed the driver's car into a snowbank, but that was the extent of the rear-end damage.
