Elderly South Boston, Mass., Man Dies After Fatal Rollover Crash On The Everett Turnpike In Nashua, NH

NASHUA, NH — A man from South Boston, Massachusetts, was killed after a three-vehicle crash on the Everett Turnpike in Nashua on Monday afternoon.

Around 2:45 p.m., New Hampshire State Police troopers were sent to the area of Exit 7E for a report of a rollover crash with injuries. When they arrived, they found a Lexus ES that rolled after being rear-ended by an SUV and colliding with a Ram 1500 pickup truck.

A preliminary investigation by state police found that Canice Maple, 17, of Dunstable, MA, was driving an Audi Q5 when she rear-ended the Lexus being driven by Joseph Casper, 85, of South Boston, MA, according to a report. The crash “caused the Lexus to strike” the pickup, sending the car onto its side. Casper was sent to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, state police said.

“The cause of Casper’s death remains under investigation,” a report stated.

Maple was sent to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The driver of the pickup truck, Brian Roberts, 50, of Churchill, Tennessee, sustained minor injuries that did not need hospital transportation or treatment.

All aspects of the crash remain under investigation, state police said.
