Operators of the other two vehicles were evaluated by Merrimack Fire and Rescue and refused medical attention at the scene.

Preliminary investigation determined that all three vehicles were traveling north on Wire Road near the intersection of Bedford Road. A Hyundai Santa Fe, operated by Paul Repp, 42 of Merrimack, approached the intersection without slowing or stopping and struck the motorcycle.

After striking the motorcycle, the Santa Fe struck a Toyota Tacoma, operated by Matthew Cummings, 67 of Merrimack. When the Tacoma was struck, it appeared to be in the middle of a turn, causing it to roll over.

The roadway was closed for several hours but has since reopened.

Police say all aspects of this incident are under investigation, and charges may be forthcoming.
