Truck Destroyed in Everett Crash, Driver Injured, Charged

Speed was involved in a crash Monday night involving a Nashua man who was injured just after 8 p.m. on the Everett Turnpike. 

Jarrod Rossi, 33, suffered a broken hip in the crash, in which his 2004 gray Toyota Tundra truck crashed through the guardrail and came to rest on its side up against an overhead sign stanchion just North of Exit 5 in the southbound lane.

The preliminary investigation indicates that Rossi was traveling in the left lane passing traffic at a high rate of speed and for an unexplained reason the vehicle he was driving veered across four lanes of travel, across the breakdown lane, crashed through the guardrail, flipped onto it's passenger side and slammed into an overhead stanchion where it came to final rest on it's passenger side.

Rossi suffered a broken hip and was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital for treatment. The vehicle was destroyed from the crash and was towed from the scene, state police said.

A section of the guard rail, including support posts, was damaged from this crash.  Members from the Department of Transportation were brought in to inspect the integrity of the overhead sign stanchion.

Traffic was restricted to two lanes of travel for approximately two hours while the vehicle was removed.

This  crash  is currently under investigation by New Hampshire State Police Troop B in Bedford by Trooper Stefan Czyzowski.  Rossi was arrested at the hospital on an unrelated outstanding warrant. 

This investigation remains under investigation.   Rossi was wearing his seatbelt at the time of this crash and speed appears to be a contributing factor in this crash, police said.
